This circa 1874 brick Italianate is packed with original details, including marble mantels, pier mirror and staircase, all in a generous 25 foot width. Located in the Greenpoint Historic District, 103 Kent Street has a pleasing exterior, with a rusticated brownstone basement, segmental-arched windows that have, alas, lost their original detail, and a bracketed cornice.

The house is set up as a two-family, with an owner’s triplex over a garden level one-bedroom rental, and it’s on the market for the first time in 40 years, according to the listing. The owner’s triplex is where you’ll find the ornate Italianate flourishes, starting in the entry with an elaborately carved pier mirror and a newel post with burl inlay and a figurative topper.

The front and rear parlors are separated by an archway with an Italianate bracket detail, lending a modern open floor plan feel. There are marble mantels, restrained plaster detailing on the ceiling and elaborate period chandeliers. A kitchen is tucked off the rear parlor, with dark wood cabinets, tile floor and a door leading to a deck.

On the upper levels are six bedrooms, some with marble mantels. There’s also a wet bar and a laundry room. The bathrooms shown look to be in fine condition with more recent upgrades.

The garden level apartment has a kitchen and dining space in the rear with a tin ceiling and access to the rear yard. There’s a windowless bedroom or office in the center and a living room with wide plank floor boards and simple moldings in the front.

Outside is a landscaped garden with brick pathways, latticework fence and planting beds.

The house is listed by Joan Dougherty for Corcoran for $4.95 million. Worth the price?
