This 1.5-bedroom co-op apartment is renovated, and has a good deal of space and a terrace for under $350,000. It’s in the Philip Howard Cooperative Apartments, a 20-story tower at 1655 Flatbush Avenue in Flatlands — where amenities include an Olympic-sized swimming pool.
The place features a living/dining room that runs 30 feet long and 12.5 feet wide, so there’s plenty of room to play with there. It adjoins the L-shaped kitchen, which sports a small window, a composite stone countertop and a white-tile backsplash.
There’s a good-sized master bedroom and a second room adjoining both the kitchen and living room that could serve as a den or office or second bedroom. That room leads out to a small terrace that faces the Manhattan skyline.

There’s a pile of closet space, in the master bedroom and front hallway.
The 644-unit building offers a round-the-clock doorman and porter and laundry rooms — there’s a wait list for parking and storage. There’s also the aforementioned pool, open from Memorial Day through Labor Day. No pets allowed.
This stretch of Flatbush Avenue is pretty uninspiring, with a gas station across the street. The terminus of the 2 and 5 trains is fairly close at hand, so there’s that — and you can stroll the grounds of Brooklyn College if you get the urge to see a tree.
The subletting policy is more lenient than many co-ops, with renters allowed for three years after the unit is owner occupied for one. And, handy for first-time buyers, the board allows a down payment of 10 percent. The maintenance is $661 a month.
Listed by Lois Thompson of Corcoran, the unit is asking $335,000. It sold for $249,000 in January 2015, according to StreetEasy — whether it was in similar condition then we’re not sure. How does it look to you?
