House of the Day: 40 2nd Place
Optimism knows no bounds in Carroll Gardens. Already in this young year we’ve chronicled two listings that have come out of the box at over $3 million. (One of them, 78 3rd Place appears to have been yanked reduced to $2,950,000 in the wake of 250+ comments mocking the ridiculousness of asking $3,495,000 for the…
Optimism knows no bounds in Carroll Gardens. Already in this young year we’ve chronicled two listings that have come out of the box at over $3 million. (One of them, 78 3rd Place appears to have been yanked reduced to $2,950,000 in the wake of 250+ comments mocking the ridiculousness of asking $3,495,000 for the 3,100-square-foot pad.) Today’s house of the day at 40 2nd Place is slightly less ambitious at $2,800,000. Still, at less than 16 feet wide and sporting a renovation that feels too “new” looking in that suburban kind of way, we’re not holding our breath about this one getting anywhere close to ask either. For what it’s worth, the 2,300-square-foot house last sold in 2004 for $1,700,000.

Carroll Gardens is THE BEST neighborhood in Brooklyn–yes, yes, yes. How many times do you have to say the same thing in one thread? I don’t care if it’s the freaking most awesome place on Earth, $2.8 for this narrow and otherwise unremarkable home is HIGH, HIGH, HIGH.
I stayed in Park Slope, 3:41.
Love Caroll Gardens, but Park Slope is home to me.
^ doubt is was 16′ wide.
3:35 – wow. you must be very happy. Where are you moving to?
So much nonesense on this thread.
Carroll Gardens is a top neighborhood, this
is a top block within Carroll Gardens. Good schools, zero crime, good shopping, plus this is a beautiful house in great move-in condition. There is almost no inventory in this area. The market in CG is nowhere close to a meltdown and those old-time Italian families are not likely to foreclose any time soon. This is not like one of those sketchy areas that are so often featured on this blog.
I really hate that when anyone says anything nice about any listing posted on Brownstoner, some bozo accuses them of being a broker. Really annoying and used in place of coherent argument. (and this is my first post here today so I am not being defensive and I do think this house is overpriced, but far less soprano-y than so many other places that brownstoner seems to think are nice – i.e., all the generic condos with their ridiculous “bosch” appliances – THAT is soprano-y in my opinion)
14 houses listed on street easy in CG/CH does not sound like a glut of inventory.
House is over priced but think 2.3m is realistic since it is a great block and is in move in condition.
I got over 1 million profit on my house sale in 3 years, 3:33.
In Park Slope.
Just sold the place last month.
Sorry, but I’m pretty sure the house has had no work done since it sold for 1.7 million. It was in same condition. I can’t believe owners think they will get over $1 million profit in 4 years.
