House of the Day: 29 4th Place
The asking price of $1,695,000 for the three-story house at 29 4th Place in Carroll Gardens looks like a reasonable price on its surface. The catch? The brownstone is stuck painfully somewhere in the late 70s or early 80s. It’s not in terrible shape, but it’ll definitely take some money and effort to bring it…

The deal has a kicker though: An extra 1,800 square feet of air rights. Can you say rooftop addition?

Can someone enlighten me about what is wrong with recessed lighting?
My first preference is something full of original detail. But, once it’s gone I’d rather buy a place like this and update it with the finishes of my choosing than have the seller go in and throw money into renovations (like brand new itty bitty kitchen sinks) that I will go right back in and change.
That said, considering that in looking at this I want to change almost everything I think it’s pretty overpriced. My bid? 1.195M
z & ditto: now, now. don’t be discurdeous.
If I hadn’t known that Miss Muffet had been here for quite some time I might have thought she was a transgendered, kinder, gentler What.
no whey miss muffet.
watch out sellers, miss muffett smells blood!
This is not landmarked. Very little of CG is- only a few streets between Smith and Hoyt.
Nobody knows how the current ‘crisis’ will pan out (if you did you’d be mega-rich) – but otherwise this would have been fair asking price for ‘Place’ block needing some updating.
The pictures are exactly what I would have imagined the rest of the house featured in the Wayne’s World SNL skits looking like if Wayne and Garth were ever to emerge from the wood panelled basement. It’s Aurora, Illinois chic.
This place on the overall is quite good but $1.7m for a three story house is a stretch even in that location. I think seller & corcoran need to be a little more realistic. The year is 2008 folks ( apparently not from yesterdays follow up sales in Midwood :).
Ms Muffett the markets are in shambles and I hate to agree with you know who but RE will drop significantly even here in our good old NYC…simple economics.
