This house at 230 Union Street in Carroll Gardens just hit the market with an asking price of $2,499,000. While it’s certainly a good location and the brownstone exterior is very attractive, the house has been chopped up and modified in ways that we think detract from its overall desirablility. Plus, it’s also only 17 feet wide. Bottom line: We think the price is off by at least 10 percent.

I just want to repeat that many of the room labeled “bedrooms” do not have windows -and there is no central air.
Hopefully people will be smart enough to figure out that if there is a lack of inventory in Carroll Gardens that is not the case for 99% of the rest of America. So there is a choice other than to overpay for a hideously botched brownstone on Union Street.
The house is a disaster. Whoever did it over had no idea what a brownstone is or could be. Treated it like a low-class tenement.
This is one of the worst layouts I can remember. Were they trying to imitate old-law tenements? Half of the bedrooms have no windows. I thought that was illegal. The corridor with the spiral stair is actually the parlor. Really ghastly.
It could all be undone of course but for a price in both time and money.
