This Cobble Hill one-bedroom is small but newly renovated and holds a lot of charm. And it’s in the coveted Cobble Hill Towers, the 19th century red-brick buildings formerly known as Alfred Tredway White’s Tower Buildings that are on and around Hicks Street and once served as housing for the working poor, before going condo in 2010.

The unit got a writeup not long ago in Apartment Therapy, which called it “beautifully styled.” It comes without the curated furnishings, but the appointments remain, including the tin ceiling, the painted brick fireplace and the vintage chandelier in the kitchen.

It’s quite a nice kitchen, with its subway tile backsplash and butcher block counter, and the appliances are new. The bathroom’s been tastefully renovated as well, with more subway tile.

Nothing here could be described as large, including the bedroom, which, as the picture illustrates, just barely fits a full-size bed. It’s got one decent-sized closet, and another small one in the foyer.

It’s a fifth-floor walkup with a spiral staircase, so those allergic to exertion and/or prone to dizziness take note. The building’s got a laundry room and there’s a courtyard garden.

Listed by Peter Bracichowicz of Corcoran, the unit’s going for $2,400 a month, which doesn’t seem too outrageous. Like it?
