A condo conversion in a landmarked brownstone at 777 Carroll Street in Park Slope hit the market this month with three units over four floors. Architect Benjamin Ellis oversaw the renovation, which sought to preserve as many original details as possible.
Unit 1 is a three-bedroom, three-bath garden and parlor floor duplex asking $2,650,000. It has original herringbone floors in a 26-foot living room, according to the listing. Unit 2 is a two-bedroom apartment with a marble bathroom asking $999,999. Unit 3 is a two-bedroom, 1.5-bath apartment with exclusive roof rights, priced at $1,200,000. Douglas Elliman is handling sales.
The current owner, an LLC, bought the building in May for $2,764,000.

$2,650,000 for unit 1 is batsh*t crazy. And yet, somebody will probably pay it.
i’m sure these will sell too, although i find them offensively overpriced.
Nice details, lets see how the market responds to a Brownstone condo. If its positive we can expect a wave of these conversions.
Looks like the owner is making a little bit over 1mio on this project. Pretty risky if they don’t sell out quickly, or maybe the backup plan is to rent out the units that don’t sell after couple of months.
Great looking place!
The entrance to the duplex is at the end of the parlor floor hallway. What an awkward layout! So there actually is an interior staircase. The measurements are different on each floorplan – the duplex plan makes it seem the building is only 18 feet wide, yet the upper apartments show the building to be either 19 or 20 feet wide. At 18 feet wide those second bedrooms upstairs will barely accommodate a crib.
I see an expensive refrigerator in the duplex unit and a bunch of cheap Home Depot grade light fixtures and bathroom fittings. I see cheap new oak flooring in places, and no significant detail on the parlor floor. Prices for the 3rd and 4th floor don’t seem terribly out of whack though neither apartment has any particular appeal to me, but the parlor/garden duplex seems overpriced. For that money, buy a beater in South Slope and have your own triplex with nice finishes.
