This Victorian apartment has been gut renovated so there’s not a shred of original detail anywhere to be seen, but it is well located and roomy, with tall ceilings and big windows. It’s on the third floor at 130 Prospect Place in Prospect Heights, in a 12-unit walkup building that dates back to 1889, wedged into the triangular lot at the corner of Prospect and Flatbush Avenue.

The two-bedroom walkup offers a decent amount of space and a flexible layout, with a couple of extra spaces that can be put to various uses. The living room has ceilings of ample height and three large windows, which is to the good, though it should be noted that they face Flatbush Avenue, so dead quiet will not be the rule.

There’s a separate room behind it that could serve as a dining room or maybe an office or TV room — though it contains the refrigerator, an unorthodox setup dictated by the kitchen’s small footprint. (Make it a TV room and you won’t have to reach far for a beer during the big game.)

While small, the kitchen is cute and renovated; the full bath is renovated as well, and sports an exposed-brick wall. There’s a second half-bath directly across the hall.

The bedrooms are of moderate size; one is quite narrow and long, at 7.5 feet by 20.5 feet. It opens into a separate, windowless room that again could serve as an office, nursery or storage. Closet space is adequate.

The building has laundry and storage for strollers and bikes; it’s pet-friendly. There’s a common roof deck under construction, which presumably will be ready to go by next summer.

The D and Q at 7th Avenue are mere steps away, and the building is within walking distance of Grand Army Plaza, the Brooklyn Public Library and Barclays Center.

Listed by Tracey McLean of Corcoran, the unit is asking $887,000. Monthly fees are $980. How do you like it?
