Rental of the Day: 778 Carroll Street
This triplex rental at 778 Carroll Street received a pretty significant price reduction last week: it’s now $1,400 less than when it was first listed.

This triplex rental at 778 Carroll Street received a pretty significant price reduction last week: it’s now $1,400 less than when it was first listed. The four-bedroom (with a library and a deck thrown in for good measure) looks brand spankin’ new. It’s big and someone must’ve just put a pile of money into the renovation but it seems to have lost some of its charm in the process. (Recessed lighting alert!) Still, there’s something to be said for 90-degree angles and everything working. It’s also between 7th and 8th Avenue, pretty prime Park Slope indeed. The reduced ask price is $9,500 a month. Think they’ll get it?

The only think that bothers me about that bathroom is the tiny space between the tub and the vanity. Seems like a nice place to collect muck and the spacing itself doesn’t look that great (to me).
I do appreciate the bright whiteness of the bathroom, though. It would make my pasty body look tan!
One would think that if she bought it for 1.5 million, spent what….500K on renovations she’s still likely to make a profit and a handsome one at that….even if my renovation costs are too low.
So while you are right Babs, she may need to lower the asking price here a bit, but the house will probably sell and she’ll probably rake in some serious cash. Despite the fact that she sounds dumber than a sack of potatoes.
I think though she got the floorplan right. The rental is in the basement…the parlour floor has a formal dining room and the kitchen is also on that floor…and there’s an ensuite master bath…and a very nice one at that.
I think 3 years ago a lot of people thought they could flip things ad infinitum. A seasoned broker/investor might have known better, but someone who’d never known a downturn might have thought the gravy train would go on forever.
Also, since they are offering it up as a rental, that probably means they’re having a problem selling it.
lol i love when a spelling nazi pwns themself by a typo.

She also said she “paid no where near” the $1.7MM ask. $1.5MM is only 11.7% below ask.
In light of the arrogance of the owner-broker 3 years ago, is it so wrong to feel some serious schadenfreude? She pretty much bragged about her superior skills at flipping properties.
Can someone post a bk.ly URL for the 2006 HOTD thread? It’s cut off and I can’t get to it.
