This four-story Queen Anne townhouse — in the Bedford Historic District at 332 Jefferson Avenue — has got some nice original details, including moldings, parquet floors, wainscoting, four original mantels and at least one pier mirror.

It’s got an SRO designation — but there’s lots of potential here.

You wouldn’t guess at the SRO classification from a look at the layout, which is straightforward enough. It shows a two-bedroom duplex on the bottom with a pair of one-and-a-half-bedroom floor-through apartments above.

(If you’re curious about the details, HPD shows the building with one Class A apartment and seven Class B, or SRO units, even though PropertyShark lists the building as a two-family and there is no certificate of occupancy shown on the DOB’s website. The DOB does, however, show that a 2007 application to convert the building to four apartments was disapproved.)

The house will be delivered vacant.

What’s pictured looks quite presentable — including a bedroom and bathroom that look to have been renovated not long ago. And the listing — from Halstead brokers Morgan Munsie and Donna Myrie — says the roof, electrical and other mechanicals have been recently upgraded.

But it also offers the old admonition to “bring your architect,” and emphasizes that “the property is being sold as is.”

An interesting side note about the house, per the listing: Built in 1889, it’s had only three owners, clearly none of them flippers.

Anyone aspiring to be the fourth faces an asking price of $1.6 million. Sound reasonable, based on what you can see?
