In an early 20th century row house, this rental has an abundance of detail, including built-ins, wood floors, a fretwork screen, pier mirror, and wainscoting. It is on the top floor of 403 Caton Avenue in Windsor Terrace.

The limestone row house with an angled front bay is one of a stretch of two-family houses houses built in 1908 and designed by architect Benjamin F. Hudson.

This unit is listed as a two-bedroom, but could be set up as a generously sized one-bedroom. One of the bedrooms is the original dining room, and it retains its wainscoting, plate shelf, and built-in china cabinet. The petite second bedroom is reached via the street-facing front parlor or via a door off the hall.

That front parlor is set in the angled bay and has a pier mirror, moldings, a ceiling medallion, and wood floors with an in-laid border. A fretwork screen divides it from the windowless middle parlor. The latter boasts a wall of original built-ins.

The recently renovated galley kitchen comes with white cabinets, a herringbone-patterned backsplash, and a checkerboard floor. The stainless steel appliances include a dishwasher.

The bathroom has been updated with beige wall tile and built-in shelves.

Aleza Rives-Pellegrino of Compass has the listing and the unit is priced at $3,800. Worth the ask?
