Seven bedrooms is actually an approximate count — devote the parlor floor to living space and you’ve got five. But in a share situation you could get two additional bedrooms out of it and still have the garden level for living space — and seven roommates could pay just under a grand a month.
Of course it’d also be a good bet for a family of Walton-like proportions.

Either way, it’s quite the splendid pad, with loads of original detail including stained glass, inlaid floors, five mantels, a pier mirror, built-in cabinetry and other woodwork.
There’s central A/C, laundry in the basement and a renovated kitchen with French doors leading out to a rear deck.
This one was a House of the Day back in January 2015; it sold last month for $1.55 million, according to PropertyShark, a price that seems quite low for the property.
It’s now listed for rent for $6,923 a month, down slightly from its original $7,030, by Hannah McPhie and Bren Salamon of Douglas Elliman. The fine print specifies that that’s a net-effective rent based on a free month — but there’s no fee. Think someone will step up at nearly $7K a month?
