For $19,000, you can have a 1900s Italianate Victorian cottage on .12 acres at 210 S Long St. This home is located in the Brooklyn South Square Historic District. It features original mantels, original beadboard hidden behind sheetrock, and wide floorboards in 1134 sq. ft.

Some restoration work has been completed, such as new wiring, some HVAC and ductwork, a new porch structure and flooring, and new exterior paint (lovely colors and charming details). The interior will need a new kitchen with cabinets and the bathroom must be completed, as well as the need for all new mechanical systems (plumbing, HVAC), the addition of flooring, and other finishing work. However, the building is structurally sound.

It is eligible for tax credits since it is on the National Register of Historic Places and is part of the local historic district. Because of preservation covenants, the buyer of this home will need a restoration plan.
