A petite but appealing apartment for rent in Cobble Hill boasts a rounded wall and built-ins in the living room and splashes of color in the kitchen and bath. It’s located in a four-story, 17-unit co-op building in the historic district at 175 Amity Street.

Distinguished by two full-height rounded bays, restrained molded ornament, and a swagged metal cornice, the building was designed by noted architect Albert Parfitt and debuted with eight rental flats around 1900. In 1910 it was advertising one with seven “light, airy rooms” as well as all the mod cons of the day.

On the third floor of the walkup, the three-room one-bedroom has high ceilings, wood floors, and picture rails. The updated u-shaped kitchen has an eye-catching turquoise glass subway tile backsplash, white Shaker-style cabinets, and a dishwasher.

The bathroom is mostly white, including a pedestal sink and subway wall tile, apart from the sky blue painted wall. There are four closets in the unit.

Building amenities include shared bike storage and laundry. The co-op requires a refundable $1,000 move-in deposit, a $300 application processing fee, a $150 application fee, and $200 for a credit and background check for each occupant, according to the listing.

Marketed by Amanda Nelson of Compass, the apartment is priced at $3,800 a month. What do you think?
