House of the Day: 226 Seeley Street

This Windsor Terrace teens two-family seems to have lots of lovely original details such as parquet floors, doors and stained glass. It’s also less than a block from Prospect Park.

Unfortunately, it doesn’t offer a whole lot of space for an owner-occupant. Each apartment occupies one floor in what was originally a two-story single-family house. We’d estimate the two upper floors total about 1,500 square feet. (There’s also a lower level, which the floor plan calls the “garden floor,” but it doesn’t look too promising to us. The boiler is down there and much of it appears to be below grade.)

We’re thinking a new owner might want to convert the house back to the one-family it was originally. The listing indicates it will need work, since it says “please bring your contractor and dreams.”

Do you think it’s worth the ask of $1,299,000?
