House of the Day: 154 President Street

This brownstone at 154 President Street in Carroll Gardens just hit the market with an asking price of $1,549,000 which, frankly, sounds like a low number these days for this part of town. And while it’s got a nice facade and a good location, there are a few mitigating factors however impacting the asking price. The main one is that it’s currently configured as a four-family, though it will be delivered with three of the units empty and there’s no mention of any rent control on the fourth. Also, the parlor appears to be the only floor that still has any original architectural detail. And lastly, the house is less than 17 feet wide and therefore the total square footage for the property only comes in around 2,700. Still, if you wanted a brownstone in a great ‘hood that you won’t feel too guilty about gutting, this could be a good fit.
