The gracious Formal Dining Room with the original stained glass and decorative fireplace also has the original wood floors with decorative bordering carrying over from the living room. The Eat-In Kitchen, which accesses the back yard, garage, and garden, has a pristine renovation which includes Carrera marble countertops and backsplash, Jenaire pro series appliances with 36" gas range and pot filler, a wine cooler, and a Moooi lighting fixture. Also situated on the first floor is a Laundry Room and a renovated half bath. The beautiful original staircases and landings lead to the second and third floor. The upstairs rooms have new richly stained hardwood floors. The Master Bedroom on the second floor has a classically modern renovated bathroom with Calcutta Gold Marble, Duravit vanity and sink, Toto toilet and aged brass fixtures. The second renovated bath features marble mosaic with a double vanity and spacious linen closet. The third-floor renovated bath has maintained the original restored claw-foot tub surrounded by marble polished chrome fixtures. Character and charm abound and the new renovation adds to the special feature of blending contemporary with traditional. The house includes abundant closets and storage throughout, and a newly painted full basement. Central air-conditioning throughout completes the picture. Come visit this grand historic home!

    "great neighborhood with perfect balance of race/ethnicities. it's offers a great suburban feeling while still maintaining a vibrant city life and culture. Great proximity to public transportation, libraries and the Prospect Park. For food lovers more and more restaurants are opening up with a 1 mile radius of the neighborhood. I love it here. "

    "This area is great for cheap rent but that is where the pros end. Not a lot of options for grocery stores or restaurants. Area is not the safest or the cleanest. School district among the lowest of the city. Would not recommend for a family. Maybe for a single person or a couple who wants to save money on rent for a few years before moving to someplace better."
