What a difference a year makes in a turnaround neigborhood. We doubt this place would have been more than $800,000 last Spring and now it’s coming on the market at $1,150,000. But what price perfection? Built in 1905 by Frederick B. Morris, the three-story house has a triple parlor with pristine original woodwork including a Pier mirror and oak and cherry mantels. The layout sounds a bit strange though: the kitchen for the owner’s duplex is on the top floor along with the bedrooms. We can only assume this was in an effort not to disturb the uniformity of the parlor floor. Another red flag: The listing mentions that this is currently configured as a two-family. We thought this was a no-no in Lefferts Manor so potential buyers should make this is not a violation.
