40-Second-Place-Brooklyn-0108.jpgOptimism 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.

    Read the listing 2:32. There are 2 full bathrooms and 1 half bathroom. The half bath is on the 1st floor where the living room, kitchen and dining room is. No bath on the parlor floor: which is pretty typical, and a full bath on each floor with bedrooms. No need to share a bath with the kiddies. hibuh

    2:55, Broker – Top 2 floors have bedrooms, each floor has at least 2 bedrooms therefore sharing ONE bathroom.

    For 2.8 million – one of the larger rooms, which would be used as a master bedroom should have a private bathroom.

    For 2.8 million – Mommy and Daddy shouldn’t have to share a bathroom with another bedroom.

    For 2.8 million – There should be a powder room on the parlor floor.

    I could keep going…but what’s the use.

    For 2.8 million why not expect a driveway and in-ground pool? It’s a brownstone in Brooklyn, not a Houston suburb mc-mansion.
