This Fort Greene one-bedroom has generous spaces and a load of closets, and is in prime shape with a renovated kitchen. It’s in the Griffin, a landmarked 1931 Art Deco co-op building at 101 Lafayette Avenue.

Calling it “loft-like” or “massive,” as the listing does, is a stretch, but the living/dining room is good sized — over 300 square feet — and the bedroom is large as well, with an en suite bath and a walk-in closet.

There are no fewer than five other closets, including two that flank a wall of built-in cabinetry in the dining area. There’s also second full bath — how valuable that is in a one-bedroom apartment is an open question, but it’s there if you want it.

As mentioned, the kitchen is renovated, and it’s a nice one, with a U-shaped black granite counter, white Shaker-style cabinetry and stainless steel appliances including a microwave.

On the minus side, it’s on the first floor, which is a potential noise factor, and with only one exposure the place isn’t drowning in sunlight.

The building offers a full-time doorman, live-in super and a laundry room. The C and G trains are both close at hand, and Atlantic Terminal’s not far off.

“Unlimited sublets are allowed in this professionally managed co-op,” according to the listing, from Dwayne Powell of Corcoran, so perhaps no board interview is required.

The apartment is asking $3,400 a month. Worth it?
