House of the Day: 207 Lincoln Road
This gorgeous brownstone at 207 Lincoln Road just hit the market this week. The three-story house has been recently restored and, judging from the frustratingly few photos in the listing, was done so very nicely. The current owners bought the place for $800,000 in 2004 so, post-reno, they probably don’t stand to make a lot…

Antidope–re using a parlor without a kitchen, and the period-ness of that, I have been interested to notice that houses with the old fashioned setup of a kitchen in the back behind multiple doors or in the basement, guests dont end up congregating in the kitchen at parties. A little social experiment. If the kitchen is a small utility room separated from the rest of the house people seem to hang out in the dining room, if that’s where food and drinks are. Your point about the every-day use of the space is well taken, though I think it depends on where you place the TV and the comfy chair/couch.
And for a similar discount price of $865k, this one comes with 20 acres, 1800 feet of lake shore, and a helicopter landing pad.

It’s an hour from Burlington and 1-1/2 hrs from Montreal. Though MUCH faster by helicopter.
Beautiful, warm looking house. I also prefer original kitchens and baths, but a well designed parlour kitchen works too. The necessity of renting out a ground floor apartment sometimes supersedes original kitchen. And one could always fix up the original kitchen for the tenant. It’s still your house.
Just plain gorgeous. I love the detail- and the entry way is fabulous. And I’m with you re original kitchens and baths, BHS.
this is a beautiful house to look at and visit.
three stories have a big advantage over the triple/garden four stories — no tenant hassle / better economics / more privacy
that said, agree with bkny about kitchen. i think the parlor level sans kitchen is too period. i think you will not use that level much at all really. i mean, how often are you really going to sit down and have a tea party?
ideal three story layout would have kitchen in rear of parlor level with a deck off the back. then you’d have a normal family sized rowhouse.
no bathroom on third floor? ill trade you one sink for a toilet
OK… just because this comparison business is amusing me. Here’s what you can get for a $150,000 discount. http://bk.ly/bjz
This one has a tennis court if you’re into that.
One of the nicest homes I’ve seen for sale in a long time.
This place looks wonderful–really beautiful. though I would prefer original kitchen and baths, I realize i’m in the minority on that one. Frustrating lack of pictures and floorplan. I have to guess at the number of bedrooms and bathrooms from the text?? This is basic stuff.
love the wood detail on the entry. i would love more pictures and a floor plan. don’t like the fact that the kitchen is on the ground floor. i think the ask is reasonable.
