sold without all of the upscale
bells and whistles wringing
every potential dollar from a

This fairly charming, low
key, old school Park Slope twofamily
deal is confi gured as
a four-bedroom duplex over
a garden-level one-bedroom
fl oor-through.
It’s not recently renovated
but seems to be in good condition
for a late Victorian brownstone,

The location — 456 14th
St. — is on a park block at the
south end of the neighborhood
near Nitehawk in the Park
Slope Historic District. It was
built in 1893 by George Morgan
for Agnes Morgan and
designed by architect Albert
Ullrich in the Romanesque
Revival style popular before
the World’s Fair that took
place the same year, as the
designation report notes.
Listed by Jackie Lew and
Marc Wisotsky of Halstead, it’s
asking $2.8 million. Worth it?
