Prospect Lefferts Gardens Brick Townhouse With Mind-Blowing Ceilings Asks $1.375 Million

You don’t see ceilings like this every day, especially in an otherwise fairly typical early 20th neo-Classical brick townhouse at 292 Parkside Avenue in Prospect Lefferts Gardens. One has ornate plasterwork; the other is hand-painted. (Perhaps a decorative painter and plasterer once lived there?)

There is plenty more to recommend the two-story, one-family brick house as well. It’s in move-in shape and offers a practical layout and other nice original details. The location is convenient: It’s a block and a half from the Q train and Prospect Park, where the skating rink is quite close at hand.

There are three good sized bedrooms, located on the second floor, which also holds a single bath, a pair of stained-glass skylights and a load of closets, including a walk-in.

Below is your basic living room/dining room/kitchen setup, with a center staircase. The living room’s got the aforementioned detailed decorative plaster ceiling, along with an original mantel, a leaded-glass entry door and a pair of window benches.

The even more elaborate ceiling in the dining room has hand-painted beams; there’s built-in cabinetry in there as well. There are inlaid parquet floors in both.

The kitchen’s a nice one, with black granite counters, cherry cabinetry and an oversized farmhouse sink. The rear door leads to a patio with a trellis and a fire pit.

Condition looks quite good; the hot-water heater and electrical panel are new.

Listed by Judith Lief of Corcoran, the house is asking $1.375 million. What do you think of it?
