The place

A four-bedroom Victorian home in Yorkville, available furnished or unfurnished.

The history

The building was completed in 1876 by George Hazelton White, a local builder whose wife is the namesake of Hazelton Avenue. The landlord bought the home nine years ago, by which point a previous owner had overhauled the interior and reversed the facade’s bricks to rejuvenate the exterior. The property is available to shorter-term tenants for $15,000 per month.

Possible deal breaker

Correction

This post originally said, incorrectly, that 99 Hazelton’s landlord had performed renovations on the property. In fact, those renovations were done by a previous owner.
