Here’s a sweet brownstone close to Saratoga Park that is chock full of details and appears to be in good condition. Built in 1891 by architects Cornell and Barnes, according to the listing, the Romanesque/Renaissance Revival style house has its original encaustic tile entry, wainscoting, fretwork screens, stained glass transoms, a pier mirror, and mantels.

The three-story house with basement and cellar is set up as a double duplex, and would probably be easy to configure as a rental over a triplex as well. The roof, heating, plumbing and electric have all been recently updated, but there are no photos of kitchens or baths. The only cons we can see is that it’s 18 feet wide and has baseboard heating.

It’s located in the proposed Stuyvesant East Historic District. Do you think they will get their ask of $1,225,000?
