House of the Day: 86 Douglass Street

86-Douglass-Street-0809.jpg
This two-family brownstone at 86 Douglass Street in Cobble Hill is currently a rental. And it shows. There’s not original architectural detail in sight and the backyard clearly hasn’t had the love of an owner in some time. The bigger questions, though, are (a) what the parlor floor looks like, since it doesn’t appear to have been featured in any of the photos, and (b) what would it cost to combine and upgrade the two existing apartments into a single-family house. Without a little more info, it’s hard to know what to make of the $1,275,000 asking price.
