Brooklyn is full of prewar charm. But some places have it more than most — and our Rental of the Week is positively dripping with it. From the gorgeous floors to the wood trim to the fireplaces (yes, plural!), this Bed-Stuy 2BR is a beauty. And it’s a bargain, too.

Address: 90 Quincy St. #2

Price: $2,350

Size: 2-bedroom

Neighborhood: Bedford-Stuyvesant

Best feature: Original inlaid hardwoods, elaborate window and door trim, ceiling medallions, two gorgeous decorative fireplaces! This Bed-Stuy 2BR is an absolute dream for fans of prewar detail. One fireplace is in the grand living room, and the other is in one of the two bedrooms. (Don’t worry, the fireplace-less bedroom has a skylight to make up for it!) The kitchen and bathroom are both spacious as well, each with a big, bright window. In fact, the whole space is filled with sun from two exposures, south and north. In addition, at a full 1,000 square feet, it’s huge.

As you might expect, our Deal of the Week is set in a classic prewar building. (And we really mean prewar: It dates back to 1899!) The location, right near the border of Clinton Hill, is close to the G, C, and S trains. And it’s also very convenient to the Pratt campus and food favorites like Speedy Romeo and Fan-Fan Doughnuts.

Why it’s a deal: The median asking rent in Bedford-Stuyvesant is $2,700, according to StreetEasy’s Data Dashboard. That puts our Rental of the Week at $350 per month below average for the neighborhood. And you’re getting so much space for the money.

Biggest drawback: This Bed-Stuy 2BR appears to have a unique layout that is hard to get a handle on, since there’s no floor plan on the listing. The video tour on the listing helps, but it may require an in-person visit to really understand. In addition, some may find it a bit short on modern conveniences. There’s no dishwasher in the kitchen or laundry in the building.
