242 decatur street 2 bed stuy 102014

One of Stuy Heights’ most lavish buildings is now available as a whole-house rental. No, it’s not a Dixon property, although it is owned by an LLC.

We marveled over the Magnus Dahlander-designed limestone when it sold last year for $1,700,000. The six-bedroom, three-bath home sports unusually elaborate woodwork, stained glass windows, tin ceilings, decorative mantles and built-in dressers.

It seems to have been in good condition when it sold, and the kitchen and bathrooms have been renovated with marble countertops and stainless steel appliances. There’s central A/C, a washer/dryer and outdoor space.

(Note: Dixon purchased a similar limestone, also designed by Dahlander, up the street at 259 Decatur Street, in case you are wondering.)

It’s located on one of the best blocks in Stuy Heights, and close to the A/C and shops. Do you think they can get $7,595 a month for this?
