Here’s a classic New York City one-bedroom apartment. It occupies part of the top floor of a five-story brownstone at 274 Henry Street in Brooklyn Heights.

The living room is quite attractive, with a decorative marble mantel and a pair of arched windows overlooking Henry Street. There are parquet floors in the living room and bedroom. (The listing calls the mantel a wood-burning fireplace, but that doesn’t square with the photo.)

In that classic New York City way, the bedroom is on the small side (and off to the side) and the rest is fairly basic: a small bathroom and a galley kitchen that opens to the living room.

The kitchen has a decent amount of cupboard and counter space for its size, and the photo shows a dishwasher, although the listing does not mention it.

The listing says the apartment has views of the harbor and the Statue of Liberty, though it’s not clear how that works, as the windows seem to face the opposite way.

The apartment may be bigger than it looks in the photos: 650 square feet all told, according to the listing. That sounds generous for about half a floor but the building is a whopper, 25 feet wide and 74 feet long, according to PropertyShark — almost 2,000 square feet per floor.

The bathroom might benefit from some fresh grout, but looks serviceable enough otherwise. There’s “good closet space,” according to the listing, and laundry in the basement.

A fifth-floor walkup is not for everyone; on the plus side it’ll cut down the need to hit the StairMaster.

Listed by Corcoran broker Wassim Fakhereddine, the apartment is renting for $2,500 a month, which seems fair enough in this day and age. What’s your view?
