This Jazz-Age apartment with a flexible layout can work as a spacious one-bedroom with a dining room or a two-bedroom. On the top floor of a four-story Finnish co-op built in 1927, it has well-proportioned rooms with coved ceilings and French doors.

In the living room and dining room are picture-frame moldings, low wood paneling, and parquet with inlaid borders. The parquet continues into the main bedroom, which also has a ceiling fan.

The kitchen has been recently updated in keeping with the style of the unit. It has a wood floor, wood counters, white subway tile on the walls, a dishwasher, and a mix of open and closed shelving. There is an attractive vintage yellow Chambers range.

The renovated bathroom is mostly white, with touches of marble, a navy vanity, and brass fixtures. Closets number four, and an additional private storage unit in the building is included.

Across from the neighborhood’s eponymous Sunset Park, the two-building, 40-unit complex wraps around a shared interior courtyard. Known as the Parkside, 561 41st Street was designed by architect Eric O. Holmgren, according to the certificate of occupancy. Holmgren also designed the earliest Finnish co-operative buildings in the neighborhood, Alku and Alku Toinen.

The complex is self managed and has a live-in super and shared laundry and bike storage. The building’s rooftop solar panels bring in $30,000 a year, according to the listing. An appointment-only open house is set for Wednesday, September 13 from 6:30 to 7:15 p.m.

Maintenance is $732 a month. Listed by Irine Blyumin and Peter Bracichowicz of Corcoran, the apartment is asking $599,000. What do you think?
