House of the Day: 22 Lefferts Place

This two-family at 22 Lefferts Place in Clinton Hill is a brick Italianate house probably dating from the 1870s or so. It has ornate plasterwork in the parlor, arched marble mantels throughout, a curved staircase, and an oculus skyligyht. There is also an interesting fretwork screen in the stair hall, which was probably added later.

It’s currently set up as a top floor rental over an owner’s triplex. The listing says the “building is in good shape” though obviously the 1970s kitchen and the dining room ceiling could use some updating. What do you think of it and the ask of $1,900,000?
