Furnished Bed Stuy Duplex With Garden Asks $4,975 a Month

"The original floor plan is largely intact, and listing photos show the garden-floor dining room and the front parlor in use as bedrooms. Original details include wainscoting, shutters, stained glass windows, built-ins, three wood mantels with original tile with puddly glazes, wood floors, fretwork, and even the original cast iron wood-burning stove in the kitchen. The latter is now decorative and topped with a butcher block counter."

"The full bathroom on the parlor floor, accessed from the hall or via pocket doors from the rear parlor, has been recently updated with a deep soaking tub, separate step-in shower, and black and white tile floor. The front parlor has all its woodwork and crown moldings in place, along with recessed lighting. A fretwork screen over a doorway leads to the entry. The rear parlor is similarly intact, and both have stained glass windows and mantels."

"An island has space for seating, and there is an original dish cupboard. The pass-through retains its built-ins, according to the listing, and a walk-in pantry is lined with shelves. There is also a half bath on this level, along with a laundry room with top loader and fully vented dryer. In the backyard, accessed via the laundry room/mudroom on the garden floor, planting beds ring a patio in the backyard dotted with outdoor furniture."

The duplex occupies the garden and parlor floors of a circa-1890 light colored stone Queen Anne-Renaissance Revival row with angled bays, arched windows, stained glass, and terra-cotta ornament. The original floor plan and many period details remain, including wainscoting, shutters, built-ins, three wood mantels with puddly-glaze tile, fretwork, and a cast iron wood-burning stove repurposed as a decorative element with a butcher block counter. The kitchen includes an island, original dish cupboard, pass-through built-ins, and a walk-in pantry. The parlor-floor bathroom features a deep soaking tub, separate shower, and black-and-white tile. A backyard patio is ringed by planting beds.
