Rental of the Day: 66 Brooklyn Avenue
It’s not too often that you find an entire two-family house for rent, but this rambling five-bedroom, four-bathroom house in Crown Heights offers exactly that. The layout looks pretty weird, with four floors “split into zigzagged landings by an esher-esque central stair” but there are two kitchens, a backyard, and “fantastic 1970s cabinetry,” according to the listing….

The layout looks pretty weird, with four floors “split into zigzagged landings by an esher-esque central stair” but there are two kitchens, a backyard, and “fantastic 1970s cabinetry,” according to the listing. Judging from the pictures, the current tenants have interesting taste in decor (gotta love that fringed chandelier-thing hanging in the stairway), and who knows what they’ll leave behind. For $4,500, it looks like a fun share house for a group of friends. And the house is only four blocks from the A and C trains at Nostrand Ave and even closer to the C at Kingston.

I still love you 66 Brooklyn. And I am glad you have not been gutted and remodeled, crazy floor plan and all.
Might be worth noting that the vacant lot at the corner of this set of houses–on Atlantic and Brooklyn is now selling for more than we almost bought this house for three years ago.
who ever hung those curtains and tied them like that should be shot.
actually, the room looks like a pig stuy.
hah – this made me legitimately LOL
