This North Slope two-bedroom co-op, at 55 7th Avenue, is loaded with lovely details — most notably a floor-to-ceiling stained glass window that makes quite the living-room showpiece. Other eye-catchers include crown moldings, ceiling medallions, bay windows and a giant pier mirror in the master bedroom, hardwood floors with walnut inlay and a decorative fireplace with a marble mantel.

The second bedroom is cramped, but it’ll work fine for a kid’s room, and there’s an alcove off the spacious, open-concept living room that could serve as an office space. There’s also a small wooden balcony in the back, with doors leading from the bedrooms. Only one bathroom, and it doesn’t look palatial.

The building is pet friendly, and there’s basement storage and a space for bikes. Prospect Park is nearby, as is the main Brooklyn library and the Grand Army Plaza subway stop.

By the way, this building was originally a single family row house. It gained its neo-Gothic details when it became a funeral parlor, as we explained in this 2011 Building of the Day post.

The ask is $995,000 $1,100,000, with monthly fees at $972. Worth it?
