Upper East Side $4.4 million Here’s your chance to go back in time for a “luxurious” and “elegant” experience. This “turn-of-the-19th-century” townhouse, located on a “beautiful, historic” block of East 84th Street, has had its prewar style and details “fully restored.” The result includes three marble fireplaces, a glass-covered solarium, “amazing” molding detail and a “dramatic and unique layout rarely experienced in New York homes.” There are three stories — with two bedrooms, 1 1/2 bathrooms, a “modern” kitchen, a gallery and a dining room — plus a basement with a wine cellar and “huge” storage space.

Boerum Hill, Brooklyn $3.75 million Built in 1859, this prewar — pre-Civil War — row house on Dean Street is a “mix” of Italianate and Greek Revival features, with the “original splendor” retained even while the home has been “fully updated for the 21st century.” The four stories are currently configured into a legal two-family residence — with a five-bedroom, 4 1/2-bathroom triplex above a one-bedroom, 1 1/2-bathroom garden-level duplex — though the house can, of course, “be easily converted” to a single-family home. The fact that almost everything — the wiring, plumbing, stairs, kitchens and bathrooms, as well as the original details down to the “ornate” moldings — was just restored in 2003 makes matters simpler.
