While it’s not exactly cheap, this upper duplex would seem to check a lot of boxes, especially for a family. Mixing modern functionality with historic details, it has three bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms, for starters.

It’s located on the parlor and top floors of a circa 1886 Queen Anne row house in the Prospect Heights Historic District. Narrow at 16.67 feet, the red brick townhouse has asymmetric terra-cotta ornament in the form of tiles with a stylized foliate motif, bands of vertical brick and brownstone trim.

The front and rear parlors, aka the dining room and living room, have carved white marble mantels, elegant door and window trim, and wood floors, all apparently original and in fine condition.

The kitchen between the two is modern, with white minimalist cabinets, white stone counters, a dishwasher and wood floors. There is also a modern powder room on this level, accessible from the hall.

A door leads outside from the rear living room to a landing and stair down to the shared garden. It has a bluestone patio, patch of grass and planting bed.

Upstairs are two full baths, laundry and three bedrooms. One spans the width of the house and two are smaller, each with room for a twin bed. The bathrooms are modern, both with white subway tile, white fixtures and slate floors. One has a tub, the other a shower. The house has Elfa storage systems, four closets and two-zone central air.

Available March 1 and listed by Karen Talbott of Corcoran, the rental is asking $7,250 a month. Worth it?
