House of the Day: Stuy Heights on the Cheap

houseThis $575,000 listing is the most interesting house we’ve seen in the low-priced category in a while. Unlike most places in this price range, this 2-family brownstone is on a pretty street in historic Stuyvesant Heights. The configuration is duplex-over-simplex, but the price tag may be low enough for some to be able to avoid having a rental. One question: We can’t tell from the photo whether the different material on the facade of the parlor floor is original or the result of a renovation. What do people think?
