The 17-foot-wide brownstone is generally pretty attractive on the inside, though we’re not loving the renovation on the rear parlor.

Biddy — I think the floor plan is mistaken (at least for the front of the house) — I can’t see any windows in the street view or in the Bing view, and attic storage spaces usually don’t have windows anyway.

Probably the rear side has small 3′ high windows.

The dropped soffits are odd, this is sometimes done to accommodate central ac vents, but I don’t see any registers.

“If that’s a PVC drain pipe there in the LR for an upstairs bathroom, this place screams CLASSY!!!!”
Initially I thought it was a faux column (speaking of classy) but realized it must be a drain pipe.
