We’re not the only ones who’ve given this building a hard time. Others in the neighborhood lamented the clunky addition affixed to the back of this Carroll Gardens brownstone, and now Pardon Me For Asking has noted that the place is still up for grabs, having languished on the market since January ’07. Unit 2 got a $60,000 chop to $1.4 million six months ago, but that’s not enough, apparently. The whole building went on sale in May for nearly $3 million, and, despite changing brokers a few times, the “hunchback” as PMFA calls it, remains available.

  1. Chip – I like your ivy idea. It would probably take 10 years to cover the wall. And the ugly railing could also be hidden.

    So imagine the addition covered with ivy and the railing hidden. Would the building look so bad?

  2. this definitely wouldn’t help with the leaky interior, but I think the only hope for the exterior is to cover the whole addition with ivy and get a bunch of plantings on the roof to disguise the fence railing.
