House of the Day: 93 2nd Street
We’re surprised the listing for 93 2nd Street didn’t include something along the lines of “Own your own house for the price of a condo!” The 1,620-square-foot mini-house is a charmer for sure and for a couple or small family this really could be a nice alternative to a condo.

We’re surprised the listing for 93 2nd Street didn’t include something along the lines of “Own your own house for the price of a condo!” The 1,620-square-foot mini-house is a charmer for sure and for a couple or small family this really could be a nice alternative to a condo. The house, which traded for $975,000 three years ago, is now asking $1,125,000. We could see it getting pretty close to that. What do you think?

Ed: We’re taking a new price voting feature for a test run on this post. The idea is to get the group to predict what the house will sell for. In a few months, we’ll be able to start to look back and see how close we came as a group! It will also provide some pretty immediate feedback to sellers on whether they’re in the right ballpark.
kind of a weird hood but i like the interior shots. 700,000
One of the reasons banks -and the economy- find themselves in the current mess is that real estate prices lost touch with reality and banks went along with it. This is a perfect example of that syndrome. A 2-bedroom playhouse (near the Gowanus canal) priced at over a million dollars! The buyer better have all cash because I doubt they will be able to finance it.
Ugh, I make no sense. I meant it doesn’t look like much from the outside in front, but inside and backyard look sweet. Also, since the train entrance is on 2nd Place (carroll st stop F/G), this is only 2 blocks from the train, which is nice.
broker, what taxes on cap gains?
I’d agree that the convenience of not having to deal with a condo/co-op board is worth a lot. I like the pricing widget too. House is small and doesn’t look like much on the outside but the pictures inside and out look nice. They did a good job making it a cozy little home. I guessed under a mill but hard to say. Is the basement live-able space?

Nice widget.

How did they get their forsythia and cherry blossoms to bloom in late March?
People who have lived in a condo or a co-op (especially a co-op!) will pay a premium not to live in one again… A place like this in move-in condition is going for at least 1.1M. Anyone who says otherwise has little idea what’s going on in the Carroll Gardens market.
