Restored Turn of the Century Townhouse

This beautifully restored turn of the century house with original period details is located on a charming block on the border of Greenwood Heights and Sunset Park. It is a 2-family, used as a one family, 2-story brick townhouse with an English basement and brownstone stoop. Period details include stripped woodwork and pocket doors, refinished floors, tin ceilings, anaglypta panels, encaustic tile and colored glass skylight.
