Other than some of the touches associated with being carved up into three units, this brownstone at 296 Dekalb Avenue looks very nice to us. The parlor floor has beautiful original woodwork, mantels and plaster, and the rustic stripped-down look on the ground-floor is also working for us. The asking price of $1,799,000 sounds not unreasonable for the location, though if it ends up going for that price, this summer’s sale of 287 Dekalb Avenue for $1,800,000 will look like even more of a steal than we thought!

  1. traffic noise should not be an issue to a city dweller, it comes with the territorry. This is a nice four-bedroom single-family house. Removing two extra kitchens upstairs is a very minor alteration. I’m not sure about prices here though. 1.8 seems to be stretching the envelope especially if the mechanicals need modernizing.
