The 1890s dwelling was a House of the Day in 2021 and the listing photos at the time showed the street level dining room with wainscoting, built-ins, a ceiling medallion, wood floors, and a mantel. Those details are still intact, with the room now serving as the bedroom for the petite unit, according to the floor plan.
At the rear of the unit, facing the garden, is a large room with decorative fireplace, wood floors, closet and, along one wall, a strip kitchen. Overhead is a tin ceiling with an interesting distressed finish in stripes of cream, brown, and blue.
The room is identified as the living room in the floor plan and shown furnished with a sofa, rug, and coffee table. The kitchen area has a slate tile floor and is outfitted with white lower cabinets, a dishwasher, white zellige-style tile backsplash, and just a bit of counter space. Laundry is tucked into an adjoining closet.
The occupant will have the use of the rear yard, which has a patio with room for dining and planting beds that someone with a green thumb could bring to life.
Listed by Tali Berzak and Kyle Meagher of Compass, the unit is priced at $2,700 a month.
