In the Crown Heights North II Historic District, this 1890s Colonial Revival standalone townhouse has the evidence of some of its historic bona fides on a plaque on the front facade. In the 1950s, the brick and limestone dwelling was home to singer and Academy Award and Emmy-nominated actress Ethel Waters. The two-family is set up as a duplex with a top floor rental; there are just a handful of listing photos, but they show moldings, an original stair and multiple mantels. There are seven mantels in total with one wood burning fireplace. The duplex has four bedrooms and two full baths, which have a mix of Deco and early 20th century details.
