House of the Day: 356 President Street
This four-story brick townhouse at 356 President Street in Carroll Gardens (Gowanus?) has a nice look to it in spite of the miserable photography job of the broker. The 4,500-square-foot place just hit the market with a not-crazy asking price of $1,820,000. The big question, not addressed by the listing, is what kind of quality…
This four-story brick townhouse at 356 President Street in Carroll Gardens (Gowanus?) has a nice look to it in spite of the miserable photography job of the broker. The 4,500-square-foot place just hit the market with a not-crazy asking price of $1,820,000. The big question, not addressed by the listing, is what kind of quality the kitchen and bathrooms are. If they are charming and in good shape, the price seems achievable to us; if not, go fish.

It’s a ladder holding up a clothes line. You know the days before dryers??? With all the tree huggers in this hood we might see a come back. If that’s the trend please people only clean knickers!
What are those supports located on the right side of the building above the garage? Are they holding up the building?
Oh come on, this is Carroll Gardens. Doesn’t get much safer or quieter.
The view out the front windows is of the school and it’s not pretty. I think the price reflects that.
If you’re at work all day you won’t notice the student presence but if you’re home it is really noisy and can be rowdy. Also the school buses picking up idle right in front of that house for a long time. Otherwise it’s a quiet block. Projects are not an issue.
It is 1 block from the train, not 3.
How big is the back yard ?
Well we had noisy neighbors in Park Slope when we owned/lived there. Both upstairs and the building next door, and yes, you can hear through the walls of brownstone buildings not just through apartment walls. If you think people in higher priced neighborhoods don’t make noise you’re mistaken, Brownie.
There is a middle school on the 2nd floor of the school and the kids get really aggressive. Many times I’ve seen them all storm into Carroll Park for an after school fight. Usually the police break it up. It’s get really loud over there when school lets out.
It’s not the fifth graders, it’s the middle school that’s there, and those kids are a pain sometimes. They’ve broken windows of a friend of mine who lives down the street.
“kids from school across the street”??
This is just a nice quiet little elementary school..
what exactly are you afraid these 5th graders could do?
Where exactly is “Gowanus”? When I was growing up the whole area was called South Brooklyn. Now it seems there is a different name for every square block.
