House of the Day: 304 Union Street
Today’s House of the Day at 304 Union Street in Carroll Gardens is particularly interesting in light of yesterday’s GMAP P*Shark Open House Picks 11/4/2005 [Brownstoner]
Today’s House of the Day at 304 Union Street in Carroll Gardens is particularly interesting in light of yesterday’s discussion about declining prices. We had it as an Open House Pick in November 2005 when it was listed for $1,850,000; it ultimately sold for $1,700,000 in May 2006, and the new owner clearly went to town on the renovation. It’s charmingly done (love those slightly rough original floorboards in the parlor) but the big question is whether it merits the marked-up price of $4,150,000.

Yea Ok the Whuh is not the WHAT.
WOW…I guess the What is back!!! Back with the old “cut & paste” I see.
As for your predictions coming true I wouldn’t call this current situation the big crash as you predicted. But, as you may or may not remember, we do have until Oct 16!!!
***I love how, after every one of the What’s predictions comes true, there is still some twat happy to come on here and cry “Bitter renter!”
Way out of left field. what does what have to do with anything on this thread?
***I’ll come by and visit again
Please don’t.
I love how, after every one of the What’s predictions comes true, there is still some twat happy to come on here and cry “Bitter renter!” Extraordinary.
Paulson just got savaged by Congress; so DIBS, I wouldn’t bank on your Congressional bailout just yet.
The most sober guesstimate yet of what we’re in for:
At this juncture, the book is still open on the how the current dislocations in the United States will play out. The precedent found in the aftermath of other episodes suggests that the strains can be quite severe, depending especially on the initial degree of trauma to the financial system (and to some extent, the policy response). The average drop in (real per capita) output growth is over 2 percent, and it typically takes two years to return to trend. For the five most catastrophic cases (which include episodes in Finland, Japan, Norway, Spain and Sweden), the drop in annual output growth from peak to trough is over 5 percent, and growth remained well below pre-crisis trend even after three years.
Me again: I hope some horse’s ass buys this place, I really do. But you all still have your head in a bygone era. I’ll come by and visit again on the next big leg down. You are about to learn a very, very painful lesson in macro economics.
slopefarm…i’m interested in doing a mini duct, hi velocity system. Would you tell us who installed it and whether you were pleased with it? Thanks
I’m not usually a huge stickler, but the soffets are a travesty. I thought I hated the vent holes of my mini duct system, but now I’m not feeling so bad (and I certainly didn’t pay $4 mil, har har).
bayridgegirl…yes, good point. That would have been really nice but, as someone pointed out above, they were trying to save money by not moving the bathrooms from the original vent and soil stack. An additional stack would be quite expensive.
This 4 storey would require cast iron and not PVC I believe.
It would have been cool if they put the master bedroom in the back and built a terrace off of it on top of the kitchen.
There is plenty of room in that bathroom to do a tub and a shower, it’s just poorly laid out.
And, BTW, real estate is never a mistake if you’ve financed it rationally and it’s going to be your home for 5-10 years. Don’t be so bitter!!!
