This three-story brick townhouse on Bond Street in Boerum Hill is on the diminutive side — the original structure is a mere 20 by 28 feet, according to PropertyShark. There’s an extension on the back though, and the small proportions give it a cute homeyness — a “cozy country feeling,” the listing calls it, and that doesn’t seem too big a stretch.

It’s a legal two-family being used as a single residence, with a pair of bedrooms on the top floor and a master bedroom with a walk-in closet and Travertine stone fireplace on the garden level. The upper bedrooms have built-in shelving and wood-burning fireplaces.

The latter, with its low ceiling, has a bit of subterranean feel that’s at odds with the light and airy feeling elsewhere in the house. On the plus side, it’s got an original tin ceiling.

The aforementioned extension offers an extra room on the garden level that could be an office, along with storage space.

Up on the first floor it has a glass-walled corner, a nice feature that gives the dining room an atrium-like feel. It abuts a recently renovated kitchen with a Carrera marble countertop. There’s a small deck that leads to the yard, which is quite nice, with a stone patio, landscaping and a horizontal fence.

This was a House of the Day back in 2008, when it ended up fetching $1.445 million. Listed by Phyllis D. Norton Towers of Brown Harris Stevens, the house is now asking $2.475 million.

Does that seem in line with the general price hiking in the last nine years? How do you like the place?
