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.

House is beautiful i wish i could afford it.I think it will get asking. Whoever is saying the interior is not up to par is a not very bright i would love to see the inside of there house.
Not saying anything bad here about Park slope but this little Area called carroll Gardens is really really nice. The streets houses Locations to manhattan and people are what make This top notch. As far as the House goes very nice i must say, i do not think they are far off in there asking price at all.

More than enough for anything but a family of incontinent obsessive-compulsives, I’d say.
I Think Mr. Brownstoner needs to go to carroll Gardens a little more often. Ummmm Hello this is the safest nabe besides Brooklyn heights in Brooklyn. UMMM no there is no inventory glut, there is nothing for sale. I can not believe you people don’t get it how close to manhattan Carroll Gardens is 3 stops. 24 min to midtown what more do you want? and yes the school is a top notch ps58. If you guys think you can find better than go buy in Clinton Hill.
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
The crazy thing is there is a house down the block (corner of 2nd and Clinton) selling at 1.8 – and it is a TOTAL GUT. I mean, on the plus that one has 2-car garage and has FAR, i don’t see how one can make a killing on a narrow house as an investment property. Is #40 really worth a million bucks more than its shabby neighbor?
2:45 – methinks the broker doth protest too much.
Pumpity Pump Pump!!!
^relevance? It can be Shangri-La for all I care. That doesn’t mean I’ll blow ANY arbitrary amount of dough on a narrow place.
Folks let’s put it this way The School PS 58 is wonderful with a great principal. The block does not get much better . Tell me a better block? maybe in the heights , this is well within reach with there price. Henry street Clinton street and the place blocks are just perfect.
