House of the Day: 317 Degraw Street
At last—a house in Carroll Gardens for under $3 million! Granted it took a 16-foot-wide fixer upper that’s actually on the Cobble Hill side of Degraw Street to do it, but no need to nit-pik. This one’s quite a bit less than $3 million ($1,599,000 to be exact) but it sounds like it’s going to…

This one’s quite a bit less than $3 million ($1,599,000 to be exact) but it sounds like it’s going to need a full reno. There are no photos up on the Corcoran listing yet. Another interesting fact: The current owners just bought this place last August for an undisclosed amount and there’s mention on PropertyShark that the property was supposed to have come up for auction back in January. Anyone know what’s going on?

I CAN’T BELIEVE YOU SAID THAT. IF YOU LIVED AT 319 DEGRAW
ST. AND CAN NOT FIND IT IN THE PICURE. THEN YOU ARE LOOKING AT THE WRONG PIC. I WAS RAISED IN 317 ON THE SECOND FLOOR APT.MY FATHER BUILT THE CONCRETE SIDES TO
THE ENTRANCE. THE PHOTO SHOWS A WORKER SITTING ON IT.
HARD TO BELIEVE THE HOUSE SOLD FOR UNDER 15K WHEN IT WAS
BUILT AND SOLD FOR A MIL. AND A HALF.WOW.IT WAS FUN LIVING THERE BACK THEN.THERE USED TO BE A SCHOOL DIRECTLY ACROSS THE STREET FROM THE HOUSE. p.s.58 I went there for a while then transferd down to p.s.29 Nice talking to you.
Buy the way, there used to be a fire house up the street
but I can’t remember the Co.#
That can’t be 317 Degraw. I used to live in a junk of a rental at 319 Degraw and it’s not in the picture.

There are a couple of larger (20×40 instead of 16.5×45) needing renovation on market nearby for about same price. But difference is this one is zoned for PS29.
A renovated one of this size on Baltic (also ps29) is in contract with asking price of 1.95).
i prefer living in brooklyn where not everyone makes “serious cash” as you say 9:27.
if i wanted to live around people who only make serious cash i’d move to greenwich, connecticut.

We saw this too, and were very disappointed. The lower duplex looked really crappy and hard to see how you would make it charming. The upper one was better, but I agree that the messy tenants didn’t help – the upper duplex resident had porn lying around as I recall. Anyway, I don’t think I’d want to live in this stretch of Union, pay that much, and still have tons of renovation to do…
Hey, this house might be narrow, but at least it’s wider than 7ft!

And there’s an even larger amount of your crowd that makes “serious cash” that prefers Manhattan, 9:11. For every one of you in Brownstone Brooklyn there are 5 in Manhattan.
i’m “young money” and i prefer brooklyn over manhattan and i wouldn’t be caught dead in a new condo…ANYWHERE…especially not williamsburg.
you are a little out of touch dude.
not all “young money” have the same wants and desires.
i’d say 1/2 of my neighbors are young…under 35 and make some serious cash. i live in brownstone brooklyn.
