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.

Stribling’s web site is terrible. Five interior photos tells a potential buyer nothing about the place. However, the Euro converter is handy (!)
HVAC work looks slapdash and completely out of place. And Union is a thoroughfare for the nabe: It’s got a bus route and it’s the route many, many drivers take on the way home from Fairway and Ikea. The price is completely ridiculous.
No, the buildings that have sold for 4 were bigger and on nicer blocks, and we more finely and fully renovated. This price is out of whack – greed.
Slick – not unless J-lo has transformed herself into a middle aged jewish woman…
At this price, they better be Toto Washlets that spray Cristal.
Claw foot tubs for soaking are actually a sought after amenity, so long as there is a separate shower as well (at least one shower per bedroom floor). Not a fan of showering in a clawfoot tub though.
That’s insane. There are some similar buildings that have gone for over 3 million but on much more charming and quiet blocks. Has anything sold for over 4 million in Carroll Gardens of comparable size?
11217, is j-lo your boss?
PS you judge too quickly. We don’t know that they are not TOTO toilets.
and no mention of the lack of TOTO toilets.
