With rustic pine floors and white walls, this apartment on the top floor of a four-story brownstone appears serene and considered. Fitted white Roman shades, vintage-style pendant lighting and a row of coat hooks by the front door add to the vibe.

The unit, located at 486 Willoughby Avenue, has high ceilings and three windows across in the main space.

In a side niche open to the dining and living area, the modern-industrial kitchen has a stainless steel restaurant counter and sink with exposed plumbing that could pair well with a sink skirt to create under-counter storage. It has white subway tile, white cabinets, open wood shelving and a dishwasher.

The living and dining area seems to have enough room for seating and a table. A/C is via a window unit.

An arched opening leads to a walk-in closet and the bathroom. The latter has white square wall tile, a console sink, black and white tile floor, and white Art Deco-era tub with shower.

The larger of the two bedrooms has a ceiling fan. The smaller second bedroom next door could work as a child’s room or office.

A few blocks from Home Depot and the Kosciuszko Pool, the four-unit Neo-Grec house has incised decorative details and bold original ironwork on the exterior as well as greenery in the form of a front garden and window boxes.
