There is a lot of curb appeal with this rental, as it is on the garden level of an 1850s wood frame house in the Wallabout Historic District. The unit itself is compact, but wide planked floorboards, a mantel, and tin ceilings give it character.<\/p>\n

The 22-foot-wide house at 102 Vanderbilt Avenue gained an extra story in 1881, according to the designation report<\/a>, giving the transitional Greek Revival\/Italianate structure a Neo-Grec-style bracketed cornice. Greek Revival details include the Corinthian columns of the porch and the door surround with sidelights. With its location near the Brooklyn Navy Yard, it isn\u2019t surprising that early building residents were in the shipping industry, including a boatswain and ship carpenter.<\/p>\n

The house was featured as a House of the Day<\/a> in 2024 and sold that year for $2.625 million. The photos in that 2024 listing were used again for this rental, but according to the listing the kitchen was updated with a dishwasher.<\/p>\n

At the front of the unit is the open plan living room and kitchen, with those wide floor boards and a decorative mantel. Walls, trim, and kitchen cabinets are all white. There is a closet in the space, one of two within the unit.<\/p>\n

A middle room has a tiny window and a closet. The listing photos show it set up as an office.<\/p>\n

At the rear of the unit is the bedroom with windows that look out to the rear yard.<\/p>\n

Finishes are all white in the bathroom, with white tile and fixtures. Laundry is outside the apartment, in a closet in the entry hall. A floor plan shows there is more storage in the hallway.<\/p>\n

Andrew Steiker-Epstein with Charney Real Estate has the listing and the rental is priced at $3,850 a month. What do you think?<\/p>\n
