OH Post-Mortem: Price for CG Atrocity a "Fantasy"
Unbeknownst to us, there was an open house at 45 Third Place last weekend, a property we’ve expressed disgust with on several occasions. Luckily, a reader was able to stop by and provides us with his impressions below: Here’s the skinny: 2 units, both duplexes. Upper 2 floors and roof space, $1.55MM. Lower 2 floors…
Unbeknownst to us, there was an open house at 45 Third Place last weekend, a property we’ve expressed disgust with on several occasions. Luckily, a reader was able to stop by and provides us with his impressions below:
Here’s the skinny: 2 units, both duplexes. Upper 2 floors and roof space, $1.55MM. Lower 2 floors and basement, $1.59MM. The two parking garages behind the structure are being offered seperately for $85M each. The upper unit has cathedral ceiling in living room area, and sole access to a large roof space. The lower unit has a basement that smells moldy, will be partly finished and will have W/D. Also, downstairs has a separate door to one bedroom on ground floor which may be used as a home office. The basement, which had that not-so-fresh feeling, will contain a finished rec room, so I believe they are counting basement space in the square footage. In my opinion, the upper was a much better unit than the lower…but the price for either one is a fantasy.
We haven’t seen been by in a couple of months. Can anyone snap a photo for us?

This is nice. Much better than those hideous ancient brownstones.
this is so sad. a 21 year old bought this house and this is what he turned it into.
Max, you are wrong re: recreation space. In a two family house this is not required, but provided. “Physical Culture” establishments are places “equipped and arranged to provide instruction, services or activities which improve or affect a person’s physical condition by exercise or by massage”. (ZR 12-10)
Pretty sure massage parlors are not mandatory in new development. Actually I’m positive. You don’t know what you’re taliking about.
Turrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrd. Turd. No excuse.
Funny, one duplex says it’s “close to PS 29”, and the other is “zoned for PS 58”. It’s definitely PS 58. Not that that’s a bad thing, actually, as PS 58 is now comparable to 29 and many, if not most, of the new Carroll Gardens residents no longer seek out variances and send their kids to the school.
Ed: This building looks like a guy trying to blow himself…
aesthetics aside, what is the price per sq and how does that compare to the condos at 2d pl. and court?
Ed, you scabrous tool, this building is hideous. Conservative? You’re way off, buddy.
I don’t cry over every new development and like modern development as well as classic. This is an abortion.
It may end up being lovely on the inside but the outside appearance is execrable.
Ed, it is seriously ugly. I like to see some of the modern designs scattered in among the old, but this one just screams ‘make money fast’. it is a huge sucking black hole of negativity. It looks like a cinderblock car-park toilet is attempting to borg a bownstone. Buy that and you couldn’t even make friends in the area because they’d smirk, even the ones renting studios. Even the italians with a plaster virgin mary out in their front garden. Even the stray dogs wimper and cross the road.
