House of the Day: 526 Carlton Avenue

This four-story brownstone at 526 Carlton Avenue in Prospect Heights sold for $1,230,000 back in 2006. Since then, it’s undergone a major renovation that’s resulted in a pretty nice looking house; recessed lighting notwithstanding, the reno managed to preserve the major architectural details of the house while injecting it with some attractive modern upgrades (i.e. they did a nice job on the kitchen and bathrooms). The bigger question is whether $2,300,000 will fly so close to Atlantic Yards.

the kitchen is condo-like wall-off-appliances urban. just as hideous. it should go back to 5th ave.
A suburban style kitchen would be modern with traditional styling, such as French country cupboards — analogous to new but traditional furniture. A typical example would be lots of cherry cupboards with beveling, granite counters, downlights, and stainless steel appliances.
This is modern, understated, cold and urban. It’s actually quite lovely, although a bit jarring in a brownstone. My office is similarly decorated. I don’t need it at home.
nouveau riche and metro home mag aesthetics. guess what kind of buyer they have in mind. a real housewife.
Hideous and suburban . . . hm. Suburbs get such a bad rap, but what’s suburban about this?
hideous and suburban. attractive to similarly hideous and suburban crowd. welcome to the new imagined brooklyn. unless a russian likes it it will never fetch this price.
Need soapstone counters then . . .
You could offset the mortgage by using the kitchen to moonlight as a chemistry lab. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.
donatella — you are exactly what those photos need! I’ve never met you, but I have no doubt you cartwheeling through the hallways would be magic.
(NOT sarcastic!)
yes, wasder, we take the cosmic view…. complaining about bad photography, stoopit-lookin’ fake historic renovations with super-duper modern kitchens, overpriced, rodent over-run, places for 2.3 million just makes me happy. I want to have them take a picture of me in those hallways doin’ cartwheels. yipeee…
