This Clinton Hill townhouse has what you want in an Italianate brownstone, with four large bedrooms and a beaut of a high-ceilinged parlor floor that offers graceful, detail-filled front and rear parlors. It’s at 192 Washington Avenue, off Myrtle Avenue and one block away from Pratt Institute.

It’s a four-story one-family, narrow at 16 feet wide but not lacking in square footage. The kitchen and a dining/living space are on the garden level, with the aforementioned parlors above, and two bedrooms apiece on the upper floors.

There are numerous fireplaces, including a pair (one working) on the parlor floor, which also sports inlaid parquet floors, crown and other moldings, pocket shutters, oversized windows with original casings, and a floor-to-ceiling pier mirror made of carved mahogany.

A close-up shot of the kitchen wouldn’t hurt, but it looks quite presentable, with a marble-topped center island, a pantry and what look to be black granite counters. Beyond it is a peaceful rear garden with a large bluestone patio.

As mentioned, the bedrooms are large, or at least three of them are; the pair on the third floor have dressing rooms, which are large enough to serve as an office space or a nursery. So, there’s a lot of space to play with here, and it looks to be in top shape.

Listed by Nadine Adamson and Kelsey Hall of Brown Harris Stevens, the house, which is new to market this month, is asking $2.875 million. Which on the face of it doesn’t seem like much of a reach — what do you think?
