Last Week's Biggest Sales
We’d be surprised if the Slope manse on Montgomery doesn’t end up being one of the top-5 sales in the neighborhood this year. How ’bout that markup on the Carroll Gardens house? 1.

1. PARK SLOPE $3,300,000
52 Montgomery Place GMAP (left)
5,238-square-foot nine-bedroom first hit the market last April (HOTD, listed at $3,675,000); price subsequently chopped to $3,300,000, and there she went. Deed recorded 3/4.
2. PARK SLOPE $2,195,000
40 St. Marks Avenue GMAP (right)
The sellers here hit the sweet spot, asking-wise. The brownstone between 5th and 6th aves. was purchased by them for $900,000 in 2003. Deed recorded 3/5.
3. MANHATTAN BEACH $1,850,000
282 Beaumont Street GMAP
2,896-sf, 2-family house built circa 1925. Listing MIA. Deed recorded 3/5.
4. PARK SLOPE $1,752,000
393 5th Street GMAP
Another one between 5th and 6th aves, this time in Center Slope. Was it listed? 3,012-sf 3-fam house. Deed recorded 3/4.
5. CARROLL GARDENS $1,670,000
29 2nd Street GMAP
Interesting: This one appears to have gone for a pretty penny over ask. StreetEasy shows the 3-fam townhouse listed in October for $1.5 mil. Deed recorded 3/3.
To be fair to the CG booster, this is a thread about 5 houses that sold, one of which is in CG.
Speaking of lovely intact PS brownstones, there is this gorgeous building on a prime block:

How long has that place been boarded up and rotting away?
Why is that one Carroll Gardens booster posting over and over AGAIN and once more trying to hijack a Brownstoner thread? Nobody was talking about Carroll Gardens AT ALL not even one iota. In fact it was a conversation about significant brownstone architecture which as we know does not exist in Carroll Gardens.
That why I brought in BS it really feels like a Brooklyn neighborhood. I like in PS for 7 years and only met a handful a people. In BS I know almost everyone on my block and I have only been there for 3 months. They look out for me tell me if I need to move the car, even pick up my packages and sweep the leaves in front of my house… People pass you and smile or say hello… It has to be the friendliest area in Brooklyn… No one thinks that are better than another even the “rich” new people that move into the area quickly leave the bourgeois attitudes on the Brooklyn Bridge.
Most of southern BS homes are NOT sitting next to Fedders buildings I live on MacDonough and all the homes on my block look the same way as when they were built in the 1870s and 1880s and it not only my block. Decatur, Bainbridge, Stuyvesant, Jefferson, Hancock, Macon, Arlington, Vernon some parts of Madison, Putnam still have intact blocks… Some of you people really need to take a walking tour.
I think Bed stuy is pretty nice and will only get better with the prices being low.
Exactly, 7:22. That is why I love Bed-Stuy. Hopefully, we can keep that atmosphere even as the neighborhood changes.
The last thing anyone should want is for Bed Stuy to be another Park Slope, which no longer has real Brooklyn character. Ever notice, there are no kids playing outside with neighbors and friends – the brooklyn thing! Many of these park slopers don’t even know each other and don’t speak to their neighbors – there’s no sense of community – it’s like rows of beautiful houses living the apartment lifestyle – everyone just goes back inside. Park Slopers are missing the best part of Brooklyn living.
I dont know what the problem is with the Italian people in Carroll Gardens? the one’s that are left because most went to Staten island. I think they are much better people than those of you in Park slope that are from Nebraska, yea you guys from North dakota have a lot of class and are real cultural.
