494 decatur street bed stuy 102014

If Monday’s $1,500,000 townhouse in east Bed Stuy wasn’t in your budget, you might want to take a look at 494 Decatur Street. Located between Ralph and Malcolm X Patchen, the three-story, two-family brick house has beautiful inlaid and parquet floors and all its original details, including slate fireplaces and moldings – at least in the rooms pictured.

We wish there were more photos, but the floor plan looks promising — mostly original, including an unfitted kitchen, both big pluses in our book.

Set up as a top-floor rental apartment over an owner’s duplex, it does have a typical drawback of single family houses converted to two: The parlor floor is used as bedrooms and the bathroom is on the garden floor.

What do you think of it for $999,000?
