This top floor one-bedroom in Park Slope has a few period details in keeping with the 1930s history of the building, a practical layout and four closets. Located in 140 8th Avenue, the unit has parquet floors, moldings, the expected niche, Deco tile in the bathroom and even some original hardware.

In the Park Slope Historic District, the 1936 orange brick building with limestone trim, multi-paned black steel casement windows and an Art Deco entrance was designed by architect Martyn N. Weinstein. In addition to its exterior Deco style, the building boasts two lobbies with their terrazzo floors and murals intact.

Inside the compact unit the foyer has the first of the four closets. An arched opening leads into the living room where there is room for dining and another closet. The windowed kitchen is petite, but has a dishwasher and a renovation included stainless steel countertops and wood cabinets.

On the other side of the foyer the generously sized bedroom has the last two closets. The adjoining bath has sunny yellow wall tile with black border tile and accessories. The original white tub is in place, while a reno included a new toilet and pedestal sink.

In addition to the fetching lobbies, amenities in the building include a live-in super, porters, a playroom, laundry, storage, a bike room and two courtyard gardens. This unit has a fairly high maintenance of $1,617 a month that includes heat, water and electric.

Listed with David Favale and Vickey Barron of Compass it is priced at $899,000. What do you think?
