House of the Day: Brownstone With Burl-Wood Doors and Carved Mantel in Park Slope

This Neo-Grec brownstone at 234 St. Johns Place in Park Slope is surprisingly similar to yesterday’s House of the Day, another Neo-Grec brownstone. It too has lavish original details and renovated kitchens and baths, although they are not as recent.
But this one has many more original and rare Neo-Grec details. The stunning burl-wood doors and several unusual mantels are rare and notable. The carved white marble fireplace is quite amazing and unlike any other we have seen before.
Other original details include floors, plaster and molding details, a screen, and pier mirror. The kitchen has dark wood cabinets, granite counters and stainless appliances.
The passthroughs are intact, and there is an original bath with a claw foot tub. Another bath with a wall of glass brick and the rental kitchen both look serviceable but could use a refresh.
It’s just under 19 feet wide, according to PropertyShark, and set up as a triplex over a garden rental. There is a deck and yard with bluestone patio.
The ask is $3,999,999. What do you think of it?

i asked pierre about this once and the response was “old habit” or something to that effect, which made me wonder more. old habit from what?
