A recently updated one-bedroom in a turn-of-the-last-century neo-Colonial apartment building has high ceilings, wood floors, and a bay window. It’s located on the third floor of 175 Amity Street in in the Cobble Hill Historic District.

Designed by noted architect Albert Parfitt, the four-story walkup debuted in 1900, according to the LPC. The pale masonry building’s most distinctive feature is a pair of rounded bays extending the full height of the building. Its restrained ornament includes horizontal banding, carving at the first floor windows, a cornice with dentil brackets and swags, and a stone entrance portico on brackets with banding and scrolls.

Now a co-op with 17 units, mostly one-bedrooms, it started out as a rental, likely with eight flats. In 1910 it was advertising one with seven “light, airy rooms” as well as all the mod cons of the day.

An update since this unit last changed hands in 2021 for $717,000 brought an open-plan kitchen, built-in storage, moody paint colors, and a new bathroom. While most of the rooms are white, dark gray accents appear throughout.

Next to a built-in bookcase in the living room, the kitchen’s open shelving wraps around a corner faced in white subway wall tile. Dark gray cupboards form a breakfast bar under pendant lights.

A vintage-style black Ilve stove’s brass controls match hardware throughout the apartment. There is a vent hood and dishwasher.

The bedroom, painted dark gray, has a “generous closet,” according to the listing. In the mostly white bathroom is a hex-tile floor, vertical white subway wall tile, a deep soaking tub, and wood vanity.

While there is no floor plan in the listing, an old listing for a similar unit shows one. The building has shared laundry and a bike room.

Listed by Gregory Rositano of Engel and Volkers Brownstone Brooklyn/Brennan Realty Services LLC, the no-fee unit is priced at $4,000 a month. Worth it?
