Today’s HOTD is yet another apparently well maintained Bed Stuy beauty that has been in the same family for many years. We see original Lincrusta (or Anaglypta) in the entry hall, wood work with exuberant crown moldings that could perhaps be described as Egyptian, plaster medallions that recall the Neo-Grec, original doors, parquet, plaster cornices, and a slate mantel that still has its original faux painting.

The listing says nothing about mechanicals, but the bathroom and kitchen shown have been updated. There is a wood deck on the parlor floor, and a landscaped backyard. The ground floor is currently being used as a daycare, and the wood work could probably use stripping. The listing claims it’s located in Stuy Heights, but it’s well east of that.

For $999,000, what do you think of it?
