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?

Apparently Lisa made a comment at the end of the HOTD thread BK14 just posted. She sounds um, lovely.
In other news, 212 8th Avenue (former HOTD) last listed for $2.850 million entered contract on July 1st. Widget posted 2.491 so will be curious to see what it went for…
It looks thoroughly renovated, a bit too thorough maybe?
I don’t know about the price. I don’t really understand who would pay that much in rent when the place might get sold from under you, forcing you to move again. It seems to have all the negatives (no services or amenities, high rent) without any of the positives (flexibility to stay or move as you desire.) If you’re going to spend that much, you could get something very fancy anywhere you want in NY. Is Park Slope that desirable for short-term luxury rentals you would forgo doormen, valets and all the things that come at that price-point?
am i the only one that noticed the broker wrote “in sweet” master bath for bedroom 1 and “on sweet” master bath for bedroom 2. really? is she kidding me? where is DIBS on this!
no way. that comes out to 2375 per bedroom.
should be 5900 to make each bedroom 1475.

OMG – I knew that house looked familiar. Check out the ownership on PropertyShark. Doesn’t the broker and owner of a house for sale have to disclose that in the listing?
Whole house (this triplex plus garden rental) is also for sale for $2.995mm.
I have no idea on the right price for rentals at this end of the market. Agree with Mr B’s ambivalence on the renovation.
PS – the house is also for sale for $2.995 million:

Ewww…but the big news is Lisa Taylor is now doing rentals at BHS! They must have given her some pretty package to leave Corcoran!
