This two-story Park Slope brick row house is on the small side, but it’s got charm and a price tag under $2 million. It’s well located at 629 President Street, off a prime stretch of 5th Avenue and near the R train.

It’s got some distinctive rustic touches that won’t appeal to every buyer, but will charm some. Take the kitchen, with its 19-century-ish wood cabinets, its distressed wood countertops, its reclaimed-wood paneling (a decorative element used elsewhere in the house), its open shelving, its exposed brick, its tin ceiling, its open-bottomed ceramic sink. There’s also a marble mantel. If that aesthetic speaks to you (and it does to us), this is your kind of place.

There’s a laundry room/pantry behind it, and a full bath. Up front is a large living room with another tin ceiling, more exposed brick, an open staircase and some built-in shelving.

Upstairs are two bedrooms and a study, which is large enough to be a third bedroom, except you have to pass through it to get to the one in the rear.

The row house has had some facade alterations but its Neo-Grec cornice is intact. There are updated mechanicals and new wood windows, according to the listing, from Corcoran brokers Karen Talbott and Judith Lief — who’ll be showing it at open houses tomorrow and Sunday, April 30.

The house is asking $1.825 million — roughly double what it went for in 2006. The taxes are low, at around $3K a year. So it’s a fairly low point of entry to Park Slope home ownership these days. Do you like it?
