This Flatbush studio seems a worthy starter apartment, with a modest but livable space, a low maintenance and a price tag under $200,000. It’s on the first floor of a prewar co-op building with 78 units at 3220 Avenue H, a block and a half off Flatbush Avenue near Brooklyn College.

The apartment has some attractive prewar details — arches, molding, hardwood floors and wrought iron railings down to the sunken living room. There’s also an original niche with shelving in the kitchen.

The living/sleeping space is around 225 square feet, with a trio of windows (from which, sadly, scant sky can be seen). It’s a couple steps down from an eat-in kitchen with a stainless steel fridge and stove that look to be of recent vintage.

There’s no dishwasher, nor is there room for one, and counter space is minimal, but it’s reasonably attractive, with a backsplash of tile that looks like pressed tin (unless it’s actually pressed tin.)

There are three small closets by the front door, and a laundry room and live-in super in the building. There’s plenty of shopping nearby, and the 2 and 5 trains are a few blocks off.

Listed by Robert Nicoletti of Douglas Elliman, the unit’s asking $189,000. Monthly fees are quite modest at $367. A decent deal?
