Costs
Maintenance: $283 a month

Pros
The home is entered from a pretty front yard and stone steps. The floors are newly refinished, and the third-floor windows were replaced recently.
Cons
The primary bedroom shares the walk-in closet with the second bedroom, and a second-floor bedroom lacks a closet. There’s no backyard beyond the rear patio. It’s a 10-minute walk to the closest subway stop. The listing calls the top floor sleeping area a bedroom, but the windows in it are quite small, much smaller than 12-square-feet.
