The Colonial Revival house at 202 Marlborough Road, Prospect Park South, is being sold as-is, highlighting both its charm and the need for restoration. Originally constructed in 1901, the home features captivating details like stained glass, wainscoting, and elaborate moldings—elements that may tempt old house enthusiasts despite the current clutter. Originally promoted as a luxurious residence by developer Dean Alvord, it embodies the historical aesthetic of its time, designed by architects Child & de Goll, who focused on appealing designs for modern living inspired by grand old houses.
While restoration will be needed, photos show intriguing details such as pilasters, dormer windows, stained glass, and wainscoting.
The Colonial Revival standalone is being sold as is, including all the contents, and to a cash-only buyer.
No. 202 was one of the speculative buildings that Alvord constructed to showcase his vision for his neighborhood.
Ads for the early Child & de Goll editions pitched their plans as appealing to admirers of the grand old houses, but updated for modern living.
