House of the Day: 526 Carlton Avenue

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.

It will be hard for this listing to stay up at this ask — 571 on the next block up is apparently now in contract after asking $1.2 million.
Although the house was narrower than this one (16′ vs. 20′), it was no gut job. Also, that’s a much nicer block with townhouses on both sides.
Maybe if this had a curb cut, it would get close to ask.
Moreover, chances are an agent working in another county is not going to be as familiar with the given neighborhoods and therefore not represent the property as well as the local office.

LOL…it seems that the majority of Brooklyn-based agents can’t get the details straight most of the time
wouldn’t the owners pick whichever agent they want?
Why an Elliman office from Manhattan beats out three Elliman offices in Brooklyn for this listing does not make sense. This happens over and over again. Perhaps senior management should question how the office managers are proactively training their agents. Part of the job is to track and anticipate potential properties within given areas and a strategy for acquiring such listing. Moreover, chances are an agent working in another county is not going to be as familiar with the given neighborhoods and therefore not represent the property as well as the local office.
Beutiful house. Very spacious and clean. I can live with one big bathroom on each floor rather than an en suite arrangement. Both work for me. I am not familiar with this block but the proximity to the AY would not bother me.
I have come to the conclusion that I know nothing about current prices. I am told that two million dollars is not really that much money any more. Still and all, I think this is priced rather aggressively. I am way behind the times and think a nice house like this should sell for about a million dollars less that the current asking. I’m constantly shocked by the kind of money in the pockets of Brooklynites.
I’ll take several bottles of the stuff, moreteasir. He certainly is.
very nice place but that price in that area wont happen.
Ratner was only interested in the surrounding property and had ZERO interest managing a sports franchise….now he’s transfered the majority of that risk / headache to Prokhorov and has cheap money to finance his “development” when he feels the time is right.
Gotta hand it to Ratner, he’s pretty damn sly. Vodka anyone?
