This bright one-bedroom, one-bathroom apartment is located in an early 20th century Finnish co-op in Sunset Park, just a block away from the neighborhood’s namesake park. Some renovations have modernized the residence, which has a sleek, mostly white interior with some remaining prewar touches.

The four-story, 40-unit brick walkup located at 712 45th Street was constructed in 1924. Named Linden Heights, the building has subtle neo-Classical details, loggias punctuating an open staircase, the original wrought iron work, and marble stairs.

It appears that this apartment received updated flooring, and the listing boasts a fully renovated bathroom. Prewar details include wooden built-in shelving, arched entryways, and moldings.

An entry foyer lined with three closets leads to an eat-in kitchen, which a new owner might seek to upgrade. There is some wood detailing as well as cream and wood cabinetry. There is no dishwasher.

A wood-detailed opening with built-in shelving looks out onto the combined living and dining area. A large window looks to bring in plenty of light. There is enough room for a small dining table.

The listing says that the bedroom is large enough to accommodate both a king bed and an in-home office space. A listing photo shows a small closet between the bedroom and living space.

The windowed bathroom, which was fully renovated in white and includes a full bathtub, is located right off the entry foyer.

The building includes a live-in super, bike storage, a private storage room, and laundry in the basement. Pets are allowed. The maintenance comes in at $585 a month.

The apartment spent some time on the market last year, listed first at $389,000 before dropping to $375,000, then going up to $399,000. Listed by Joanna Mayfield Marks of Brown Harris Stevens, the unit is back on the market asking $389,000. What do you think of it?
