The three-story house is set up as a one-family, with as many as six bedrooms (or an office or closet or two, depending on your preferences). The living space and a rear kitchen are on the parlor floor, with five bedrooms on the floor above.

It would be easy enough to turn the house into a duplex over a garden-floor rental with the addition of a kitchen. There’s already a two-family certificate of occupancy, and you’d be left with quite a livable duplex.

All told there are around 3,000 square feet, plus another 800 in the finished basement.

There’s not much original detail to be found outside of parquet floors on the parlor level (elsewhere you’ll find some floor tile and carpeting). As mentioned, though, the owner has created some distinctive touches, from the antique bathroom doors on the parlor level and the eclectic lighting fixtures to the vintage door frame around the toilet in the upstairs bathroom and the colorful tile mosaic in a shower stall.

Location-wise, the house offers some pluses — it’s right by Prospect Park and it’s steps from the F and G trains. It’s also zoned for P.S. 107, a bonus for those with young kids.
