If you’ve been waiting for your chance to rent an 1894 Renaissance Revival limestone mansion with four stories and seven bedrooms, wait no longer. This one, at 1193 Bergen Street in Crown Heights, awaits a taker.

Seven bedrooms is actually an approximate count — devote the parlor floor to living space and you’ve got five. But in a share situation you could get two additional bedrooms out of it and still have the garden level for living space — and seven roommates could pay just under a grand a month.

Of course it’d also be a good bet for a family of Walton-like proportions.

Either way, it’s quite the splendid pad, with loads of original detail including stained glass, inlaid floors, five mantels, a pier mirror, built-in cabinetry and other woodwork.

There’s central A/C, laundry in the basement and a renovated kitchen with French doors leading out to a rear deck.

This one was a House of the Day back in January 2015; it sold last month for $1.55 million, according to PropertyShark, a price that seems quite low for the property.

It’s now listed for rent for $6,923 a month, down slightly from its original $7,030, by Hannah McPhie and Bren Salamon of Douglas Elliman. The fine print specifies that that’s a net-effective rent based on a free month — but there’s no fee. Think someone will step up at nearly $7K a month?
