This three-story gray brick in the Prospect-Lefferts Gardens Historic District caught our eye for both its beauty and its price. Since the agent neglected to give an address, we decided to see if Bob Marvin could clue us in. Bob told us that this has to be Lefferts Avenue, either between Bedford and Nostrand or Nostrand and New York, because this is the only stretch with houses that have these particular terra cotta details. He also told us that this house would have been built as a two-family home, as it remains today. While there is some lovely original woodwork in the hallways and stairwell, other parts look like they’ve been dumbed down over time. Regardless, we suspect the $750,000 price tag will appeal to some.
UPDATE: A reader identified this as 298 Lefferts Avenue.
