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.

This is a lovely house.. I think that they should target this home only to rich people in Manhattan who will think this is a deal…
This is a nice house.
I actually like the narrower houses with the stair in the center, they are a nice size for a single family. I think the interiors look great, I don’t get the too-new comment.
One has to expect to pay a premium for perfect move-in condition. No tenants, no waiting for contractors, just buy it and move the kids and yourself in.
The price is high though. I would say that 3.1 will be closer to the figure it will go for. But it will sell. It’s a great house in a great area in move-in condition. There is not a lot to chose from right now.
bizarre price. . . they must think 16 feet is the new 20

1:48–you haven’t been looking then. There are properties in Park Slope that have been sitting. And if you’ve really been looking, which I don’t believe, you know which ones they are. And I was referring to the NEW ones coming on the market now, totally overpriced. I’m sure they’ll be featured soon.
1:43…
I see almost nothing listed in Park Slope. I’ve been looking around for months now and inventory in PS is the lowest I’ve ever seen it.
Care to direct me towards some of these sitting overpriced properties?
Perhaps they’d take a lowball offer…
So anytime Park Slope is mentioned, it’s a troll?
Hmmmm…
Good to know.
Wow that’s narrow. But it’s very nicely finished. I love the green doorframe in front. Unfortunately that would probably not be allowed on our landmarked block, even though there’s no way to tell from B&W photos exactly WHAT color people painted their doors and doorframes in the early 20th century. I bet anything the colorful doorframes were quite common then. Especially after the Edwardian era, when the dark woodstains of the Victorian era went completely out of fashion. If you look at print ads from the 1910’s houses are very colorful.
