House of the Day: 526 Carlton Avenue Reduced
When we featured 526 Carlton Avenue as a House of the Day last September, the Prospect Heights brownstone had just hit the market with an asking price of $2,300,000. The price was knocked down to $2,100,000 a couple of weeks ago, and then to $2,000,000 earlier this week. As we mentioned back then, we think…

As we mentioned back then, we think the extensive renovation that was recently done looks pretty nice but wondered whether the proximity to Atlantic Yards would hurt its chances. Apparently it has.

House of the Day: 526 Carlton Avenue [Brownstoner]
It doesn’t seem like a lot of thought went into the kitchen. I don’t like the way the lower cabinet runs up against the window sill. And it’s way too sterile. Overall the place has some great original architectural details though.
I don’t think the floors are painted. I think they’ve been bleached or pickled.
The listing says “Available for rent $6500.00 per month.”
That would be sweet if the owner could rent it for 10 or 12 years until AY is complete. Then he might find a buyer at a good price. Maybe.
I mean a steal for a hearing-impaired family if they can get it cheap… not for 2M!
Be prepared to be awoken every morning before sunrise by construction workers preparing to begin the day.
But this home would be a steal for a hearing-impaired family.
Yeah, what’s with the formal dining room on another level from the kitchen?? It’s fine if you have serving staff or maybe acceptable with a dumbwaiter. The dining room will likely not be used as such. Who wants to carry an entire meal and all the plates etc when entertaining??
Plus I think the kitchen design does not fit this beautiful interior. Way too modern.
What a shame they didn’t do kitchen on parlor with option to have rental on garden level. Would have greatly widened the buyer pool I bet. Nice reno, bad location. It will sit some more.
Who wants to sit in the ‘Formal Dining Room’ enjoying a delicious meal while someone is sitting on the toilet bowl constipated?
Bad location for that 1/2 bath on the Parlor floor.
AND where is the ensuite bathroom for the master bedroom????
Pretty damn nice house (the white floors–wtf?–not withstanding). But yeah that proximity to one of the biggest construction sites in the city for the next 5-10 years is definitely going to weigh this one down. 1.6 might get it done.
