Here’s a Bed Stuy floor-through in a circa 1898 building with an eat-in kitchen, a bay-windowed living room and a home office. It’s at 293 Stuyvesant Avenue, in a four-story, eight-unit building in the Bedford Stuyvesant Historic District designed by Axel S. Hedman. All the units in the building have been recently renovated.

The listing calls it a three-bedroom, but only two bedrooms are pictured. Perhaps there’s a third that isn’t shown; more likely they’re counting the living room as a potential bedroom, with the dining room standing in for the living room.

That scenario would work, but in our book it’d be better to call it a two-bedroom and use that decorative-mantled, bay-windowed space in the way the real estate gods intended. In any case, the listing also claims an office space, which is also not pictured — perhaps it’s behind that doorway off the kitchen?

The kitchen is no great object of splendor, but there’s a window and room for a table, and the appliances look recent, and include a dishwasher and microwave.

There’s some built-in shelving in the dining room and hardwood floors throughout. The nearest train is the A/C at Utica, some 6 blocks off.

Listed by Claire McFeely of Compass, the unit’s posted at $2,665 a month — a tally that figures in two free months on a 12-month lease. Continue past that and you’ll be paying $3,200 monthly. What do you think of the place, and the price tag?
