A great queen Anne -Exterior refers to the pleasures to be found in this mansion of Park Slope. There is plenty of woodwork with coats and frame work, as well as other details from the 1880s such as plasterwork and stained glass. The slightly more than 20 feet wide bricks and brownstone house in 470 9th Street is a family-two family with a garden rental and a spacious size triplex above.

It is one of a row of Queen Anne style houses in the Park Slope Historic District Extension, designated in 2012. The houses are credited to one L. Pearson in the report with a plan application date of 1882, but not much was discovered about the owner and builder at the time of designation. Designs are repeated in line with the eclectic mix of elements in the Queen Anne style, including Romanesque arches, Mansard roofs, a variety of window styles and brick details. No. 470 and his twins in the row, no. 478, both have a peak of facades with foliate ornament and wide arches on the second story with iron handrails around the sunken terraces.

Interesting, another House on the Block, no. 492, duplicates that details but is credited to another builder; Daniel Doody. In 1882 the Brooklyn Union Reported about the busy building activity on “Prospect Park Hill” and noted that Bouwer Daniel Doody 53 flats and houses built on 9th and 10th streets between the 7th and 8th roads. By 1884, Doody Was advertising Queen Anne style houses on this block such as Parlors with panels, plate glass windows, mott’s reserve tanks in the bathrooms, and sanitary completed “according to the rules of the Board of Health.”

This specific Queen Anne survived intact with many of the big details. The original dining room at the garden level garden now serves as the living room of the garden rental with one bedroom and it still has its paneling, mantle and bag doors in place. The owner’s plywood has the kitchen at the back of the salon level and two floors with bedroom space above it.

There have been some updates to the interior, but it seems that the historical functions are well cared for and decorative details, such as wallpaper, added in a nod to the stylistic era of the house. In the entry there is a graceful staircase, wooden floors, frame, a ceiling medallion and Linnrusta painted a lively red.

A wooden cloak in the salon has its original green tile direction, bric-a-brac boards and a mirror. Plasterwork Details rink the room and wooden floors with a pickled edge stretch back in the rear salon.

In the aforementioned salon, the mantle and other details were retained on the side while a modern kitchen was inserted on the other side. A niche decorated on tiles is equipped with a Viking colleague and cupboards.

On the second floor, the bedroom -oriented bedroom is set up as a hollow and workspace. The room has access (via the windows) to the terrace overlooking Brownstone Row. There is another bedroom at the back of the floor, and the two bedrooms share a full bath with a Klawfoot bath and a shower. Above are two more rooms, one with skylights and another completely bath with a shower.

A aft deck is accessible through the kitchen and the paved back garden has room for dining.

Paul Murphy from Compass has the list and it costs $ 4.25 million. Worth the question?
