Here’s a lovely Dutch Colonial Revival standalone with lots of details in the Fiske Terrace portion of the Fiske Terrace-Midwood Park Historic District. Located at 51 Waldorf Court, a dead end street, the home also boasts a one-car garage.

Constructed circa 1907 by the John R. Corbin Company as part of the Fiske Terrace Development, it has been owned by the same family since at least 1971.

In the way of period notes, the bay-windowed parlor floor has parquet floors, leaded glass French doors, what appears to be the original banister and at least one arched doorway. The dining room has coffered ceilings and a brick Arts and Crafts-style gas fireplace.

The eat-in galley kitchen has hardwood floors, dark wood cabinetry that’s not been updated for some time, and enough room for a large dining table.

Plaster wall moldings, hardwood floors and some window and door surrounds remain in the upstairs bedrooms. The master has a wonderful wall-to-wall bay of windows, a ceiling medallion and pea green wallpaper.

There are only 2.5 bathrooms for the six bedrooms — a parlor level powder room and two full-baths split between the upper floors. The only one pictured, on the second story, has tiled floor and walls, a tub and a stained glass window. The third-floor bathroom has a stall shower, according to the listing.

At the front of the home, there’s a charming front porch. The yard is relatively small for freestanding homes in the area, but it does boast that aforementioned garage.

The electric and oil heat have been recently updated, according to the listing, and the basement is “clean” but not pictured.

The home is a four-block walk from the Avenue H station, and seven blocks from the Newkirk Plaza stop.

Compass’ Alexandra Reddish and Madeleine Gallagher have the listing, which is asking $1.65 million. What would you do with it?
