Bed Stuy Garden Duplex With Two Bedrooms, Mantels, Updated Kitchen Asks $5,000

Located in a circa 1880 Neo-Grec brownstone in the Bed Stuy historic district, this garden and parlor floor duplex has numerous original details and is fairly spacious.

With a flexible configuration, the duplex at 101 Decatur Street could potentially work as a two- or three-bedroom for roommates or a family. There is a quirk, if a floor plan from an old listing is still accurate. The front room on the garden level is open to the hall, but can be partitioned to use as a bedroom, according to the listing, or work as an office, playroom or living room.

The front parlor could also work as a bedroom, if the residents don’t mind having the combo kitchen-dining room in the rear as their only shared space or using the front room on the garden floor as a living room instead. The unit has 2.5 bathrooms, including a modern one that is en suite to the rear bedroom on the garden floor.

On the parlor floor are high ceilings, decorative plasterwork, woodwork, parquet, arched doorways, huge windows, two carved white marble mantels and pocket doors. The kitchen is modern and attractive, with plain wood cabinets and a stone counter. A door leads out to a metal deck and down to the backyard.

While the listing doesn’t mention them, the floor plan shows a dishwasher in the kitchen and washer and dryer in the cellar. The garden floor lacks the details of the upper level, but appears neat and in good repair. The rear bedroom has a decorative fireplace and walk-in closet, one of two closets in the home.

The attractively landscaped backyard has a horizontal fence, a built-in stone bench that demarcates a planting bed, mature trees, a stone patio and expanse of gravel.

Listed by Jamyl Harrison and Trisha Goff of Compass, the duplex is asking $5,000 a month. Worth it?
