House of the Day: Off to Monroe We Go

house hallway
We like the feel and location of this 4-story brownstone on Monroe between Bedford and Nostrand. Even though it looks like some of the upper floor rooms have lost their details, this parlor floor doors and stairs more than make up for it. (It’s a lot easier to find some crown and base moldings to touch up the bedrooms than find original 10-foot doors and frames, that’s for sure!) The kitchen alcove is a bummer, but since it’s a four-family, you’re gonna be tearing out a couple of these kitchens anyway. Close proximity to the A Train at Franklin is also a plus. And the price? $949,000 seems about right though we could see it going for closer to $900,000. Not sure how long this has been on the market, but it looks like a place that should move quickly.
