> Ever wonder what a house that's been in the same family for 70 years looks like? Well, here's your chance. > With fabulous original detail throughout, this 4 story, one-family house shows the gentle care it has received over it's long life. > The original woodwork, including mantles, wainscoting, moldings, shutters and trim work, has been carefully preserved, mostly unpainted, in all of its pristine glory. > Included are seven wooden fireplace mantles each with the original glazed tile intact and unblemished, original pocket doors with intricate gingerbread woodwork unpainted and untouched, working wall sconces from early in the last century, a gentleman's wash basin discreetly tucked away on the parlor floor, two ornate chandeliers and much more waiting to be discovered by the new owner. > Where the 21st century is needed, it has been applied with discretion and taste. > The completely renovated kitchen shows off dark flecked granite with under-the-counter lighting, new stainless steel appliances and black-and-white tile floors. > Each of the three bathrooms has been largely renovated. > You'll find this classic home set on a wonderfully preserved brownstone block in the southern section of Bedford-Stuyvesant. > Just steps from Restoration Center with its large Super Food Town supermarket and Billy Holiday Theater and the resurgent merchant strip along Tompkins Avenue. > First showing expected around July 8th. > First come, first serve!
