## Property Overview

Set in a grand, 25' wide, classic Carroll Gardens Brownstone, Unit 1 at 78 2nd Place is a massive, 2BR/2.5BA duplex condo with private backyard, offering fresh and modern design with Scandanavian sensibility.

The home begins with its private entrance just under the townhouse stoop. Step through the apartment's glassed entry into the dedicated foyer and you are greeted with 22' long, wide Dinesen Douglas Fir plank floors and Snelling Studio brushed metal wall sconces. Step further into the apartment and you are struck by the unit's stunning natural color palette, designer finishes and clean architectural flow. The sun-splashed living room has gracious proportion and features a wall of south-facing, floor to ceiling windows showcasing the apartment's private backyard. Anchored by a vast kitchen island--a welcoming place to sit and connect--the kitchen is beautifully balanced with custom Shinnoki oak cabinetry and Caesarstone polished cement-style backsplash. Just off of the living room is the inviting second bedroom which also faces the backyard. The front of the home has the primary bedroom with north-facing exposure, ample closet capacity, ensuite primary bathroom and enough space for a both king-sized bed and office area. Both bedrooms feature California Closets and Pierre Frey fabric wallpaper. The apartment's two full baths are on this upper level and are elegantly appointed with Florim palazzo porcelain tile, Porcelanosa, Vigo and Hansgrohe fixture finishes.

The lower level of the apartment is an enormous finished rec room with flexible layout, direct patio access and south-facing windows. On this level is a laundry room, an entire wall of storage, large closets and a half-bath.

The backyard is 500+sf and fulfills all of your wishes for outdoor living: it can accommodate multiple seating areas, a large dining table and a planting area spanning the length of the back wall, perfect for exercising your gardening skills and creating your own personal green getaway.

## Sales Evidence

### How this price compares

The median closed price for comparable condo two-bedroom sales in Carroll Gardens is $1,762,500, based on 10 sales between January 2025 and May 2026. This home is asking $2,850,000, $1,087,500 above that median. The middle half of those sales closed between $1,312,500 and $2,313,750.

- **Median closed price**: $1,762,500
- **Middle half**: $1,312,500 – $2,313,750
- **Based on**: 10 condo two-bedroom sales in Carroll Gardens
- **Period**: January 2025 – May 2026
- **Median $/ft²**: $1,270/ft²

Across the 7 of these sales with a published asking price, the median closed at 100% of what it originally asked. 29% of them closed below the original ask.

This building has not had enough comparable sales of its own in the period to support a median, so the benchmark is drawn from Carroll Gardens instead.

### How these sales were negotiated

- **Sold vs original ask**: 100% of the original ask
- **Closed below ask**: 29% of 7 sales
- **Listed → in contract**: 47 days (about 7 weeks)
- **In contract → closed**: 63 days (about 9 weeks)

Across the 7 of these sales with a published asking price, the median closed at 100% of what it originally asked. 29% of them closed below the original ask.

Half of these homes were in contract within 47 days (about 7 weeks) of coming to market, based on the 9 with a recorded listing date.

Once a deal was agreed, closing took a further 63 days (about 9 weeks), based on the 9 with both dates recorded.

These are two separate periods measured on different clocks — time to find a buyer, and time from agreed deal to closing. They are medians of different sets of sales and do not add together into a single "days on market" figure.

Based on 10 condo two-bedroom sales in Carroll Gardens, January 2025 – May 2026. Each figure counts only the sales that recorded the dates it needs, which is why the denominators differ.

Sale prices are the consideration recorded with the City in ACRIS, and each sale is dated by the day the City recorded it. A closing date reported to the MLS typically falls one to two weeks earlier. Recorded sales describe what has already happened and are not an appraisal, a valuation, or an estimate of what this home will sell for.
