House of the Day: 121 Rapelye Street
There aren’t a lot of interior photos provided in the new listing for 121 Rapelye Street, a four-story brownstone in Carroll Gardens. The three shots that are shown reveal a mix of nice original details and cheap rental-style finishes, so it’s hard to develop a strong opinion about the $1,300,000 asking price. Given that this…
There aren’t a lot of interior photos provided in the new listing for 121 Rapelye Street, a four-story brownstone in Carroll Gardens. The three shots that are shown reveal a mix of nice original details and cheap rental-style finishes, so it’s hard to develop a strong opinion about the $1,300,000 asking price. Given that this is a BQE block and not one of the neighborhood’s most charming, we bet it’ll be challenging unless there are some positive surprises on the inside.

I guess they took the listing for 3% so you get what you pay for. over priced by 300,000 I say.
The location is the pits… noisy BQE +exhaust ridden fumes!

Theres a nice parking lot already there next door.
Perhaps they could open a drive thru.
I saw this place a year ago. It went to contract and the buyer couldn’t get financing. The place needs a lot of reno dollars – probably $200-300k. The question is whether someone would want to pay $1.5-1.6M with a renovation for this location. I don’t think so.
Assume that this should be $1.3-4M with the reno and get a 2600 sq ft apartment with $2000 in income, so this place should come in at $1M-1.1M tops.
You may as well suck on an exhaust pipe. No amount of discount is worth it.
trash? this is across from an immaculate kids baseball field. all families and professionals in the nearby brownstones and large apt building on corner of hicks.
Hey I dont care if its the best school in the country I dont want to live next to it- I live around the corner from it – noise is noise and trash is trash.
> the house next door sold for $1.75 couple years ago…
Good thing nothing has changed in the economic landscape since then.
the house next door sold for $1.75 couple years ago…
People on brownstoner said had cheap looking upgrades.
This place def has potential, saw when first came on the market for 1.5 something. Note the place next door sold for ~1.7 2 years back, renovated. Straight shot down 2nd place for subway, fine part of town really.
