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?

Check out Thirteen/WNET’s website. Charles Lockwood, author of the “indispensable Bricks and Brownstone”, discusses the evolution of the New York row house from the 1820s onward. He video describes the daily lives of houses’ occupants, and illustrates how brownstones were designed, built, and sold 100 to 150 years ago:

We rushed to see the house shortly after it came out, a couple of months ago — beautiful block (we live nearby), majastic looking facade, asking didn’t feel outrages for that much space (vis-a-vis the asking prices for many other houses out there). Upon seeing it, it’s a scary amount of work for the asking; and seeing is always “unbeliving”. We were told by agent then there was already an offer from someone in Manhattan who had not seen the house in person. Guess no accepted offer yet?
You’ve just been Slopejacked!
2:40 = troll
Boring!!!
Attempted slopejacking at 2:40. Don’t fall for it, folks!
for that price i rather get a house in north slope.
I’m with you 2:40. I have absolutely no idea.
why would anyone spend $2M in CG when you could get something nicer in PS or another nice hood?
