Maybe we’re missing something, but we don’t see how the asking price for this three-story house at 345 Hoyt Street (at Carroll Street) in Carroll Gardens can be $2,150,000. Sure there’s a three-car garage and some unused FAR, but the interior appears to have been stripped of any original charm. As a point of reference, the 2,880-square-foot single-family property sold for $1,275,000 in 2004. We’re not that far away from 2004 prices, are we? Maybe they’ll get $1,500,000, but this asking price seems nutso.

  1. “Can’t details be recreated?”

    Sure, but done right it wont be cheap. $100k maybe for moldings, trim, wondows, and what not. Then again, depending on the age of this building there might not have been a lot of original details.

  2. The ad says 2 car garage the floor plan shows 3.

    The ad says 1 family, the floor plan shows 2.

    Love Corcoran. I wonder what the official C of O is and if that ground level is commercial.

    I’d buy it for 1.2. Duplex and floor though, probably in the $3k a month range of income. Say $600 total for the garage. $3600 a month. Maybe close to $4k if you do 2 floor thorugh and a commercial space (if allowable).

    Not bad if you can get a good conforming loan…

    but alas, wont happen…

  3. 60% increase? Clearly you’d be paying for the pristine renovation done by the current owners.

    Maybe the broker thinks the price is warranted as a development opportunity, but maybe she hasn’t heard that there’s not a lot of development money floating around right now.
