In a Bed Stuy brownstone, this rental may be only studio sized, but it has the grand proportions expected on a parlor floor. In addition to the high ceilings, there some period details still in place, including wood floors, a mantel, ceiling medallion, and pocket doors.

It is one of four units in the 20-foot-wide brownstone at 128 Macon Street. The Italianate dwelling dates to the 1870s; houses on the block were being advertised in 1875 as “new and elegant.”

The rooms are divided by pocket doors, with a combo living room/bedroom facing the street and the dining room in the rear. A kitchen is tucked into a nook in the dining room; the bathroom opens off the dining room.

A renter could be creative in setting up the generously sized parlor for both living and sleeping. The marble mantel is at the center of the space. The walls and ceiling finishes throughout appear light and bright in photos.

A peninsula divides the dining room and kitchen. Both have tin ceilings while the wood floors in the eating area give way to tile in the kitchen. The latter is compact and lacks a dishwasher, but it does have a decent amount of counter space.

The bathroom is not shown, but the listing refers to it as renovated.
