House of the Day: 192 President Street

Compared to what other houses in Carroll Gardens have been listed at in recent months, 192 President Street strikes us as an interesting opportunity for someone who values historic detail and has the time and energy to put into a restoration. We like the grand scale of the parlor floor, the unusual limestone facade and the intricate plaster moldings. In the right hands, this could really be something special. Think the asking price of $1,928,000 will be met?

3:05 – Carroll Gardens is south of Brooklyn Heights, adjacent to Boerum Hill and Cobble Hill, 4 stops into Brooklyn on the F.
Love this house a lot. Beautiful exterior. For the comment about being near the BQE that is the stupidest thing i ever heard. Henry street is one of the best and nicest blocks in NYC and being near the BQE did that ever stop Bklyn Heights Nope.

2:47 LOL I would have fallen for it a few months ago, but being now a long time brownstoner addict, I know better.
This house has a contract out to a prospective buyer. The reason it has not been signed is because there are two tennants, one if which has a lease and they are trying to sort it out.
Where is Carroll Gardens? I’m from Manhattan and am looking to trade up to a house. Thx much!
I’m da crazy slopejacker, I jacked your slope

Thank you 2:26. some people don’t like Carroll Gardens which is fine (that’s why the people who choose to live there are fun and specific)but you really don’t know the neighborhood if you think the BQE is an issue at this location.
On the other hand – I actually can’t believe that brownstoner said he likes the “unusual limestone” – I have passed this building a million times and that kind of veneer is truly hideous.
and 2:15 – “families who have 1 mill don’t want to share” – that is absolutely ridiculous. families don’t “have” one million dollars – they borrow much of that. We bought a 1 mill house in CG and ABSOLUTELY would have considered this building. I know many people who would consider it – maybe slightly more imaginative about real estate than you?
It is a MUCH better deal than buying a lame 8-900,000 2-bedroom condo. Even if you don’t have the money to do a huge reno now, you would know that at 2500 sq ft(!!) you could renovate bits at a time and meanwhile have the comfort of knowing that you would never have to move for more space.
