It’s not every day a unit pops up for rent in Bushwick’s Trip House, a remarkably intact circa 1890s stand-alone Queen Anne immortalized in the press in 2012 for its art- and graffiti-filled parties. At the time, tenants and their guests said the new owners, a real estate group that bought the property at 74 Cornelia Street in 2012 for the then-low price of $275,000, supported the parties and might eventually demolish the house for development.

Luckily, that didn’t happen and the place looks shipshape now. Whether the house’s very special original red, green, orange, and gold Lincrusta and linoleum wall paneling survived the cleanup with white latex paint is unclear.

The two-bedroom appears spacious in photos and has a white-painted wood mantel with original mottled gray tile, moldings, high ceilings, bay window, parquet floors, and other historic details. The photos also show two kitchens.

Hopefully any vermin or electrical issues alleged in a string of 311 complaints — and the days of noisy parties — are behind them (unless of course that’s why you want to live there). Listed by Aron Fried, the no-fee unit is asking $2,950 a month. What do you think?
