The Citi Habitats listing calls this "a diamond in the rough," but to us it looks more like an empress in need of finery. The four-story, 20-foot-wide home has already been gutted, and that leaves a lot left to do--but that is the fun part. With two fireplaces on each floor--that's eight frickin' fireplaces!--and light streaming into each floor, it's time to bring your architect, as they say.

The home sold last July for $2.475 million, according to StreetEasy, and came back on the market days later for $2.495 million. This seems like a deal in the making, especially since those first two floors are also zoned commercial. A home? A restaurant? A new Marc Jacobs where the fabulous designer can live above the shop, as it were? The possibilities are endless.
