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.

Mazzola! Thanks.
limonata in the sun on summer Sundays = jester smiling
jester, don’t daydream too much, the mom-zillas all over Brooklyn drive SUV’s and they’re not happy.
Minard, I’d consider buying it for the right price and either converting it back to single-family or an upper owner’s triplex (with a deck down to the garden) and a garden rental (without garden acess, or only access to a patio beneath the owner’s deck). There just aren’t very many houses in Carroll Gardens at this price anymore.

Except at $1000/sf, that co-op or condo would be in a better looking neighborhood in Manhattan.
Mazzola is on the southeast corner of Henry & Union, with a bench on the side. Naidre’s is on the southwest corner of Henry & Sackett, with 2 benches in front.
I judge neighborhoods by the “bike index” – if you can safely daydream on your bicycle ride through the streets. That will determine where I eventually buy!
This is an income-producing property, someone will buy it and rent out the units. One or two per floor probably. The style is Grungde-revival.

They’re not kidding
It’s on Henry and Union I think actually. On the southwest corner…has a small bench on the sidewalk? ‘Cause the bench is on the side I misremembered President.
