This 1892 brownstone at 58 Macon Street in Bed Stuy has all the period details you could want, including a mother lode of original carved woodwork.

It’s got six mantels, two pier mirrors, an entry bench, built-in cabinets, carved door frames, elaborate wainscoting and banisters in the hallway, and pocket doors and shutters; there are also parquet floors and original stained glass.

Even the kitchen, updated with a center island, is awash in original mahogany, with a wall of cabinetry and an elaborate mirrored mantel.

Twenty feet wide, the house is a four-story, set up as a triplex over a garden rental. The listing says there are five bedrooms, so perhaps there are four in the triplex and one in the rental; without a floor plan we can only guess.

Whether any updating is needed is another open question, though everything pictured is in good condition.

The house sits across from a vast concrete school yard, which may put off some buyers; more favorably, it’s a stone’s throw from the A/C stop at Nostrand.

Listed by Ban Leow and Howard Ramlal of Halstead, the building is showing at an open house this Sunday from 12 p.m. to 1:30 p.m., for those sticking around for Labor Day weekend and the West Indian Day Parade.

The ask is $2.475 million, a not-inconsiderable sum. Think the house is worth it?
