This grande dame of a townhouse sits squarely within Bed-Stuy's Historic District and embodies the best of 19th-century craftsmanship. Measuring 18 x 45 on a 90-foot lot, this two-family stands four tall stories (plus a cellar). Period architectural details include monumental doors, mantels and over mantels, pier mirrors, parquet floors, decorative plasterwork, built-in shutters, turned newel posts and balusters, and so much more. The parlor floor boasts 11.5-foot ceilings, and it doesn't take much imagination to envision it as it was intended to be: elegant, light-strewn, voluminous. Showings begin Sunday, October 23, and the house will be delivered vacant. Looking for that diamond in the rough? This gem is for you!
