Swoon...now THAT is a time capsule I could live in!! I would buy it for the exterior & setting alone, but amazingly the interiors are lovely as well. How did they get such a subtly colored bath during that time period?? So pretty! I'd remove the valence in the kitchen and get some appliances that would blend in better than the white...but I think that's all I'd do! Seems like a good price for the NE?

The setting is mildly deceptive. It is the end unit on a private street but the long side of the house faces a fairly busy street and it backs up to a parking lot. But many streets are busy here, and the parking lot will probably be built upon soon, most of that sort of lot are.

The console sink in the bathroom (Probably late 40s -late 50s is a really nice color.

ohh, i was wondering how it could possible be that price and have a "gramercy park feel" for under 1mn.

So pretty, and rather "timeless" decor esp for the setting.

Taking all things into account, the only negative (which is relative) is the back exposure to a parking lot. I think that will be built on soon enough. The price is good, but it's probably being sold as an estate needing a lot of work, and there is no central air.

My fear is that it's going to be "updated" beyond all recognition.

LOVE that kitchen. Hope the buyer appreciates what a gem it is.

They did a beautiful job on the photos. So many interesting things to take in. What are the high wall scallops in the second bedroom? I would certainly love to live in this row house as a city house, as long as I had a country house to escape to every once in a while. Wonder what updates it needs...electric, plumbing, roof? Sure hope they maintain the integrity of the original home. The downsides seem to be no bath on main floor (?) and we are all spoiled by larger kitchens.

The second bedroom has sconces.

There is rarely a bath on the main floor (and pretty rarely a powder room) in most houses on the standard medium sized lot.

This LOT is 17 feet wide, so the interior width of the house is 16 feet at it's widest. The kitchen is the full width of that part of the house, I think, minus a narrow service stair out the back of the house. It's hard to fit kitchen, dining and living + stairs all in this amount of space let alone a bathroom. It's one of the drawbacks of the typical lot size. (Common lot size goes down to 12" (11" interior) and there are some 9" lots.

Love it!!!

I would miss having a powder bath on the main floor, but otherwise I love that house both inside and outside.

The kitchen counter/backsplash is wonderful! The floor looks like it was replaced, probably when they added the DW and new range. I think I could be happy with that kitchen with a smaller range, except that it has no access to the outside.

I'm trying to figure out what is to the left of the kitchen, behind the dining room. is there a door to the outside there? But then, the dining room archway leads to the stair hall, right? One would think there is a back door out there. Mysteries!

You'd think they'd clean up the garrett bedroom a bit, so that it wouldn't look like such a garrett. Or maybe they were thinking of A Little Princess?

The listing says there's a den? Where is it?

I loved my rowhouse, it wasn't quite that old though and had a 1st floor powder and laundry space in the kitchen by the back door. It did not have that great vestibule, though!

Where is the parking?

Oh, I love this. Thanks for sharing.

I love the courtyard they share.

Timeless.

Nice! Thanks for sharing...

Not what I was expecting. I wonder if any of the accessories can be negotiated into the offer. :)

Love the light that the windows bring in. This is kind of silly but it looks like it was a well-cared for house, I wonder if it will miss the owner.

Blfenton I also thought it looked well cared for. I love the colors in decor. It is nice to see nothing trendy. Any guess about the counter in the kitchen? What is it made from? In that small space I am glad to not see two different materials for the backsplash/tile combo

Talavera tile I think.

It is a gem and wonderfully furnished. In the main rooms, it's hard to pick the era in which is was first furnished (in a good way). I think the kitchen could benefit from a new, wider stove, like the original 40? space. There seems to be a white filler piece added, with the original hood still in place. Perhaps a restored Chambers or a new Lacanche/La Cornue might fit. Similarly, the DW is begging to be paneled or better fitted.

This owner moved in in 1944, and I would imagine that most of the furniture came soon after. The floor covering in the LR and DR is new since 2003 (when I saw it) It used to be the same green wool carpet still in the second bedroom.

I doubt this house was ever renovated or redecorated in any sort of comprehensive way. The kitchen was probably done in the late 1940s to early 1950s or so and altered slightly to fit newer appliances as needed. The bathroom looks partly original, partly post-WWII, and has a new toilet. Things were added replaced on an as-needed basis only.

At one time, when there was not a lot of new construction here, these houses were aspirational. Now what people will look at is no central air conditioning, no attached garage, small kitchen etc, small overall house.

I have doubts that this house will ever look as good again.

Wow that is lovely inside and out. What a find!

It is what it it *was* for the era. If I *had* to, I think I could learn to deal with the 'problems'.

Just more proof that good design and quality furniture transcends time.

What a great home. I also love the kitchen. Our blue Big Chill fridge would look fab in there.

Pal, thank you for posting this home. I could move right in with the exception of the kitchen floor. I love how timeless traditional furniture is. I love not seeing trendy!

I took harp lessons in a home that looked very much like this one. The walls of the living room were a soft lime. It was her mothers home that she did not change when she inherited it. I can hear the gentle harp and piano music in my mind just looking at the pictures. Happy memories. It also reminds me of my father's uncle's home where we had many happy family gatherings. God bless the greatest generation, I'm sad they are leaving us.

Amen, kittymoonbeam. I wonder if she lived there until or near the end; 100 years old and the bedroom and the bath on the 2nd floor? Wow. I love the quiet, serene feel of the interior, despite the apparent cacaphony of the outside world. Thanks for sharing.
