In the Bed Stuy historic district, a prime 1880s Queen Anne brick and stone row house in estate condition offers exquisite architecture inside and out, but will need some work to restore its former grandeur. Even painted and carpeted, the interior details are striking, including woodwork, plasterwork, pier mirrors and carved wood mantels with colorful original tile. A legal three-family, according to the listing, the house has four kitchens, the floor plan shows. It was a Brownstoner House of the Day in September and now is back on the market with new agents, photos and slightly lower asking price.
