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.

It looks soooooo narrow in that picture.
“If all these overpriced properties had popped up in Park Slope, there would already be 100 comments on how greedy, liberal, and neurotic the sellers are, but because this is less than a mile to the west, it’s a non issue.”
Here we go–a troll trying to ignite the whole Park Slope crap again.
I disagree with you. Every time an overpriced piece of shit pops up in Park Slope, it’s trashed as well. Just check previous HOTDs and you’ll see. And personally, I can’t wait for some of the newer Slope listings to be featured–the prices are ridiculous and insulting for what the houses are. So give it up, really.
The 1.7M paid in 2004 was way too much for such a narrow house that needed work (I am presuming). Hope the seller did not put too much into renovations as that puppy is not selling for more than 1.8M.
price is insane, but I love the facade/colors on this place.
I’m just curious…

Why is that?
It’s like a broker cartel. Except that it’s not going to work, ever.
It is 15.83×48 according to Property Shark. That makes it $941/sqft. In Caroll Gardens? Are the sellers insane? Maybe friends of brokers just list their places temporarily for prices that are way too ridiculous to keep prices inflated? It’s too bizarre.
HA HA HA HA HA HA HA. $2.8 for a 16 footer (which looks even less) in Carroll Gardens???? HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!
I saw James Cornell have a meltdwon in an Corcoran office, sceaming at another broker.
Not a pretty sight
