Here’s a rare House of the Day for under a million — though it calls for a renovation budget that’ll push the total cost over that figure. It’s a circa-1900 semi-detached brick house with a barrel front on 11th Avenue in Borough Park that sports some original detail but needs considerable attention.

It’s a smallish, 20-by-30-foot two-story with an English basement that is currently unfinished but could yield some space for a studio or rec room. The two upper floors have a straightforward layout, with three bedrooms and a single bath above and a living room, dining room, kitchen and half bath below.

The listing says the house needs a gut renovation, though semi-gut may be more accurate. A new kitchen and new baths are called for, as well as mechanical upgrading, but the pictured spaces look like they’ll get by with cosmetic attention like paneling, linoleum and drop-ceiling removal, skim coating and painting. There are parquet floors as well as original woodwork, though some may not be salvageable.

The end result could be a nice single-family residence, with a small deck and backyard and close to the D train at Fort Hamilton Parkway.

Listed by Chloe Godin of Corcoran, the house is asking $895,000. Think it’s worth it?
