House of the Day: 289 Cumberland Street

If you’re into older 19th century houses, you’ll want to take a look at 289 Cumberland in Fort Greene. Built in 1851, according to the listing, the restored semi-detached wood frame has two working wood-burning fireplaces and seven mantels, including two black marble ones, original wide plank pine floors in some of the rooms, and original built-in sinks in the two master bedrooms. The rustic Arts and Crafts style kitchen in an addition is new and has heated stone floors. The dining room has French doors that open up to a deck. There is also a claw foot tub and a Queen Anne style porch, added in the late 19th century. And there is a library. If you click through to the listing on Bond’s website, you can see a video tour of the parlor floor. We must be getting jaded, because $2,900,000 is sounding reasonable. What do you think of it?
