This attractive two-bedroom co-op has plenty of space, a recently updated kitchen and bathroom, and original details. The latter include fanciful arches, a built-in niche with shelves, high ceilings and wood floors with inset borders.

It’s on the top floor of the Clinton Houses, not far from Brooklyn College, at 657 East 26th Street. The six-story, 113-unit building was built in 1940, according to the certificate of occupancy.

The spacious layout includes a roomy foyer that could serve as a large entry hall, dining room, office or library. It includes the aforementioned arches and built-in shelves as well as three closets.

The living room, more than 20 feet long, can fit a seating area as well as a dining room table or desk. The eat-in kitchen has a dishwasher, white Shaker-style cabinets, white subway tile and white quartz counters, according to the listing.

Both bedrooms are spacious, with two windows, and appear neat as a pin. The smaller of the two puzzlingly does not contain a closet, according to the floor plan, but there is space to add one near the door without detracting from the room.

The beige and white bathroom is pretty standard and has a tub with shower.

The Colonial Revival elevator building has a dramatic entrance with columns, landscaped courtyard, and a large lobby with terrazzo floor and decorative fireplace. There is a live-in super, laundry, bike room, package room and additional storage available. Subletting and pied-a-terres are allowed.

The maintenance is a relatively reasonable $616. Listed by Heather McMaster and Kerry Sullivan of Corcoran, it’s asking $469,000. What are your thoughts?
