This Carol H. Pratt-designed 1910 house at 147 Rugby Road in Ditmas Park is up for rent, and it looks stellar if you have the dough. For $7,950 a month, you can have seven bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms with an enclosed porch, a sunroom, and lots of unusual, architect-designed touches. There are elaborate coffered and painted ceilings, a unique staircase, built-ins, mantels, stained glass, and on and on.
Check out the oval dining room with the metallic-painted molded plaster ceiling and leaded glass built-ins, and the parlor with the painted coffered ceiling, pocket doors, a wood burning fireplace and built-in bookcases. And the kitchen looks nicely renovated with its double oven and cherry floors. The house sold last September for $2,200,000, or roughly $529 per square foot, as one commenter pointed out.

Thanks great work.
Actually, when I look at the bigger copy of that pic via the link, I think there’s a little bit of tiling in the center of the front, running horizontally. That initially looked like a shabby spot in need of a touch-up, but now I think it’s just the angle of the pic. Otherwise, the exterior’s fine.
The exterior picture of the front almost looks a bit shabby… like it’ll need a new paint job fairly soon. Not that it looks bad now, but considering how beautifully they’ve maintained the inside, it’s a bit surprising.
