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.

  1. I actually love this part of Carroll Gardens. There is a tiny tiny coffeeshop up the road on Henry and President. It feels desolate and disconnected but that is why I like it.

    I almost moved very nearby here actually. Carroll Gardens rules.

  2. It’s actually NOT a terrible location considering the BQE proximity – it’s the first house in from Henry Street. The block’s really not bad either. Nice baseball field, and great dog run, on the western end of the block and running south along Hicks Street. And there’s a nice little park and playground in the middle of the block, running through to Woodhull Street, adjacent to a sunken section of the BQE.

    For $1.2, you’re getting a lot of space for the price of a 1,200 square foot co-op or condo, apparently with some original detail, a private garden and no board. Convert it back to a single family, re-do the facade, and for God sake, plant some street trees.
