It could stand cosmetic tweaks and decoration, but even assuming the usual restrictions, this rental offers a rare chance to lease an entire early 20th century house in the Prospect Lefferts Gardens Historic District with a wood-burning fireplace, two full floors of bedrooms, and a yard for a not totally crazy seeming price.

The circa 1916 Colonial Revival at 165 Fenimore Street was designed by noted architect firm Slee & Bryson, and it has the expected cozy living room with hearth, bookcases and wood paneling; a formal dining room with wainscoting and a plate rail; and kitchen all on the ground floor. With four bedrooms and a sleeping porch-slash-sunroom spread out over the two uppermost floors, the townhouse could make a nice extended-family compound or roommate share.

In addition to original details such as parquet floors and a Colonial Revival-style staircase, it has modern wet rooms and mini-split air conditioning. There is laundry in the partially finished English basement and, outside, a deck and paved backyard.

In the same hands since 2012 and listed by Paul Pinizzotto of Compass, it’s asking $5,500 a month. Decent deal?
