This Midwood studio in a 1930s building comes in at under $2,000 and has a bit of extra space with a foyer, separate kitchen, and dressing room. An arched doorway, parquet floors, and vintage tile bring out its Deco-era character.

It is located in The Emroy House, a six-story, 124-unit co-op complex of two buildings at 763 Ocean Parkway and 868 East 7th Street. This apartment is in the latter, on the third floor. Plans for both buildings were filed in 1935 by the Emroy Corp. with plans by Brooklyn-based architect Max E. Ungerleider.

An early brochure for the complex shows the original floor plan for this unit, and it looks like the layout has stayed the same. The entryway includes two closets and leads to a foyer with room for bookshelves.

An arched doorway is open to the main living space, which has three windows over two exposures. In the adjoining windowed kitchen are white cabinets and a black tile backsplash.

The bathroom is reached via a dressing room with a closet and built-in storage above. The bathroom has a newer vanity, but the peach tub and tile with black border tiles and accessories are original.

Amenities in the co-op building include laundry, a shared courtyard with seating and plantings, a live-in super, and a bike room.

Jeff Surowka of Abacus Properties has the listing, and the studio is priced at $1,950 a month. What do you think?
