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…

I must admit, I’m intrigued by the black doors and casings in the halway used with the white crown molding and white casings in the LR.
Wow, so many comments on the blue walls and carpeting!! When is someone going to comment on the 800 lb gorilla in the room? I agree there’s too much blue in the room, but how is everyone ignoring those couches?!? Those are the real travesty!!
Per my previous post though, I still think it is a lovely, reasonably priced house notwithstanding need for interior decoration makeover.
I wonder what the kitchen looks. God willing it’s not blue!
hehe
Zoom way in on the block – at least a half dozen above ground pools on the block (Smith/Hoyt/2nd/3rd). Must be a lot of kids around there.
So currently being used as a one bedroom duplex with a one bedroom rental. Gotta agree with ‘stoner this one should be converted back to a single family.
Is that F train station entrance at Smith/2nd going to be closed for a long time because of the construction at 360 Smith? I don’t go this far down Smith very often.
Why would someone want to spend all that money on what is basically a 1BR duplex with a 1BR rental that eats up a big chunk of your living space (to preserve hallway for renters)? And on a noisy block to boot? Of course, you can reconfigure, but that will add a hefty sum to the price tag…
One of the few reasonably priced houses in a prime Brooklyn neighborhood I have seen recently. I bet they get within 5% of ask as it is a lovely home (some people’s – I must say legitimate – feelings about the 2nd floor rental unit notwithstanding) albeit on a somewhat loud stretch of 3rd Avenue, right by the light at Smith so there will be horns at rush hour. If buyer puts 20% down, monthly mortgage comes out to $6,100 a month or $4,100 after tax deduction. The duplex could command $3,000 a month to rent with the top floor getting at least $1,600 so not bad when looked at within that light, although it does sell for probably 20-25x annual rent roll.
I suspect they took advantage of the sale on Glidden “True Turquoise”
DIBS….I like your living room way better then that one!
Lovely mantle, too!
This is a nice place (ex the blue carpeting). That beautiful entrance hallway is exactly why I rant on and on about the fact that the rental unit should be in the basement. But, sans a parlour deck, this works out.
