House of the Day: 79 1st Place
What’s the highest price for a brownstone in Carroll Gardens to date? The reason we ask is that today’s House of the Day may be a contender. The five-story, 25-by-64-foot house at 79 1st Place has held onto its architectural detail much better than a lot of the places in the neighborhood—at least on some…
What’s the highest price for a brownstone in Carroll Gardens to date? The reason we ask is that today’s House of the Day may be a contender. The five-story, 25-by-64-foot house at 79 1st Place has held onto its architectural detail much better than a lot of the places in the neighborhood—at least on some of the floors. It’s not all moldings and marble: Since it’s a five-family, there’s been some fall-out from chopping the place up and some of the rental space doesn’t look quite as nice as the parlor floor. But still, you’re looking at 6,400 square feet in an increasingly desireable location. Is the asking price of $3,950,000 realistic? $700 a foot for a place that’s going to cost more to convert back to a two- or three-family (no single family needs this much space!) seems a little high to us.

Wonder how they got the studio outbuilding in the rear yard setback? I’d ask for a price reduction for the illegal building back there.
Anon at 2:25, assume you’re joking.
This is among the most beautiful blocks in all Carroll Gardens and I am delighted to live on it. The houses on this block are amazing.
Mr. B, one down the block closer to Court is currently getting a gut reno, which i suspect is for condos, but do not know for sure.
Condo Conversion definitely.

There was a very successful (all sold within 2 months) Condo conversion of a 5 story Brownstone on Carroll Street across from the park. They sold out this past spring. Corcoran repped it. Also there is another 5 story brownstone condo conversion at 100 2nd Pl. I think the prices on all these units have been in $800/900 per sq ft range.
i’d rather spend my $4 mill on this place.

you’d have cash left over and could move right in.
The house on the corner of Court and Carroll which has some commercial space is listed for either $5 or $5.5 million
do you smell condo conversion with large floor plan like that?
And – all these houses too tall. Out of context in ‘hood of 3 and four story. Should be required to chop off top floor. Only 1 floor less than 360 Smith St Scarano proposal. 🙂
while the price per sq ft is good, i doubt a individual will buy it. that’s a big job, that’ll cost a lot on top of the $4 for the house. this will probably go to developer at around $3.5 or less. a building this big can even fit an elevator which will give it a leg up on most brownstone conversions. but you can get buildings this size for the same price in manhattan. will this palce come vacant?
yes, totally reasonable. Note that I think this market is on crack; prices are way higher accross the board than reason can bear.
