This mid-19th-century Italianate wood frame has some charming details, but we suspect it will take some work to restore. The listing says the structure and mechanicals are in good condition, but we see indications — such as baseboard plugs — that a whole house electric and plumbing upgrade might be a good idea. The rooms will need skimcoating, since they’re covered in fake wood panelling, and we think we see some popcorn ceilings. Hopefully those flammable-looking cans perched on the boiler are empty! Currently set up as a two-bedroom unit over a one-bedroom unit, we think it could make a cute one-family. What do you think of it for $699,000?

  1. Come see the property, and bring your inspector 🙂 Monroe is priced less than the Crown Heights one because it’s priced for a quick sale – every seller and every agent prices differently. At $699K, we have great interest and are already reviewing offers. Give us a call anytime to come take a look for yourself. It’s a lovely home full if potential.
