House of the Day: 43 3rd Street
This three-story brick house at 43 3rd Street in Carroll Gardens just hit the market with an asking price of $1,390,000. It looks like a very cute place to us, with lots original detail on both the inside and outside. To us, it’s screaming out to be a one-family, but appears to work fine currently…

Oh just noticed those are pine subfloors. Could be an issue under the carpet, not a deal breaker, just saying take a look.
You’re right, Ringo, this would be so easy to configure with a galley kitchen on the parlor floor and a rental on the ground floor. Though it is a small house — not that there’s anything wrong with that.
Following up on Chuck’s post, there are a lot of people who refuse to go above 999 and thus, I think there are sometimes deals at the 1.05 level
I like this house. I don’t see the big floorplan issues. I’d probably stack a kitchen in the parlor, on top of the garden level kitchen and have 3-bedroom place with a garden rental. PS 58 is decent. Block is iffy. But for 1.15? A lot of people who own co-ops and could put 30-40% down could swing this pretty easily with low carrying costs.
Garden in pic doesn’t match garden on floorplan but whatever
The one big plus is that this is in PS58 elementary school zone, which is a pretty good school. Or, at least, nowhere near as bad as some others around.
That’s what the sellers must be using to inflate their price, ’cause for the life of me, this is a 20×30 house, so you’re buying 1200 square feet to live in and 600 sqft to rent for $6000/month?
Just doesn’t add up to me. Sellers obviously want to clear over a $1,000,000, but i’d only pay $999,999.
mta has decided to chop this bus route.
you heard it hear first. ppty values on 3rd st to jump because of decreased traffic/congestion. or fall due to decreased transportation options.
one of the two.
The 3rd street bridge is how the bus and most traffic crosses the Gowanus to get from Park Slope to Carroll Gardens, and there is a stop pretty close to this house.
there is a map included showing location of house….
just about any other house in carroll gardens cobble hill is closer to bqe than this -although plenty are just same distance.
Seems like Donatella’s knowledge of CG is on par with his mastery of Boerum Hill.
Seems like I upset you, Boerum Hill. I am very sorry. Also I am a she. I like that area of Carroll Gardens. What did I get wrong?
