Here’s a 1909 brick townhouse on one of Greenpoint’s best blocks, which has been nicely renovated and looks to be in top shape. It’s in the Greenpoint Historic District at 142 Milton Street, on a stretch filled with lovely houses.

This one fits right into the architectural splendor, with its neo-Classical appointments: stone trim, front porch with Ionic columns and dentil molding, scrolled keystone lintels, bracketed cornice.

Some nice original detail remains within, including pocket doors, a wood fireplace mantel, other woodwork, moldings and leaded glass. Beyond that, the interior looks fairly modern, with renovated kitchens (note the vintage stove in the lower one).

The house stands 55 feet deep and 20 feet wide, so there’s a fair amount of acreage here. Currently in use as a three-family but a legal two, the house has three kitchens — this could present some problems. However, the lower level does have potential as a studio or guest space and would be a handy spot to whip up some goodies if you’re entertaining in the backyard.

So, some work may be involved, but it’s a stately residence in a prime location, near the subway, waterfront, and the nabe’s many bars, restaurants and shops.

Listed by Yuval Vidal of Compass, the house is asking $2.7 million. Like the look of it?
