Roommates or a large family could stretch out comfortably in this three-bedroom rental, on the top floor of an early 20th century house in Midwood. It also has a sunroom, living room and dining room — although only one bathroom.

Located at 820 East 12th Street, the house was built in 1922. Its simple Colonial-meets-Craftsman exterior mixes shingles, red brick and banks of multi-paned windows that appear original. Inside, there are spacious rooms, high ceilings, wide doorways, parquet floors with inlaid borders, paneling, moldings and French doors.

Although not trendy, the kitchen and bath appear nicely appointed and in good condition. The floor in at least one of the bedrooms appears to need refinishing but a rug could hide the worn spots. There are four closets, including one in each bedroom, according to the listing, which is no fee.

There is a catch, however: The house is on the market, so tenants “will need to provide access for showings periodically,” says the listing, from Ali Clarke of Compass.

Worth it for a monthly rent of $3,000? Or, the whole house (and garage) can be yours for $1.575 million. What do you think?
