House of the Day: 17 1st Street
There’s a little more exposed brick than we’d like to see and the bathroom’s a little cheesy, but otherwise this smallish house at 17 1st Street in Gowanus (or Carroll Gardens, depending on who you ask) has a nice feel to it, especially for a house in this neighborhood that’s been in the same hands…
There’s a little more exposed brick than we’d like to see and the bathroom’s a little cheesy, but otherwise this smallish house at 17 1st Street in Gowanus (or Carroll Gardens, depending on who you ask) has a nice feel to it, especially for a house in this neighborhood that’s been in the same hands for a long time. (We like the exposed wood beams on the garden level, for example, and the upper floors have their fireplaces and moldings intact.) The asking price of $1,249,000 looks good at first glance, but remember that the house is 16 feet wide and less than 2,000 square feet in total. Thoughts?

I am sure 999 will take this baby away. save the extra .1 for reno costs, new bath, landscaping, painting.
i like it, has a good vibe and definite potential. fillmore has it listed as 16×36 on a 79 foot lot, so it’s small. but cute and seems like a great condo-alternative for a small family willing to renovate over time. demerits for being just outside of ps 58, though. i’d split the difference between DIBS and gemini and say $1.1, give or take.
It’s 1.5 blocks from the canal. How small of a neighborhood do you want to define Gowanus as?
I wouldn’t call it Carroll Gardens til Smith Street (where the name of the street itself changes from 1st St. to 1st. Pl.).
It is close to Carroll Park which is the heart of Carroll Gardens if not its geographical center.
This house is a chimichanga. Snap it up, How much cuter could it be?
So, how much does it generally cost (ballpark) to add another full bath w/ basic fixtures – nothing fancy?
Oh, Snarky!
Sam – you are right – this IS carroll Gardens
I wouldn’t call this street Gowanus either
$999,999
I like it, definite potential. The facade seems to be in good shape and it sits on a very pretty quiet street. I think there are some positives here. the kitchen seems updated and I like the exposed wood beams as well.
I actually thought the price was really good until I realized it’s only 1 family. Dunno what I can say about the price now – maybe 1.15?
