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.

  1. Just FYI, 230 Degraw is a gorgeous place. And when they finally finish the Strong Church renovation (years from now), the block will be looking pretty darn good. Plus, there is a decent supermarket down the block (just saying, as its the only one in CG). And there is a family living in 230 and no sign of condo conversion.

  2. i bought a brownstone in cobble hill in 1997. before buying I had looked at 55 houses in only cobble hill and carroll gardens (for about 9 months). really don’t see how there is now a lot of inventory.
