On the garden floor of an 1880s Neo-Grec brownstone at 877 Union Street in the Park Slope Historic District, this floor-through one-bedroom has all the trimmings one would expect, plus extra perks such as an office and storage.

Set up as a combo living-dining room, the front room has plenty of intact original detail, including parquet floors, a carved wood mantel, built-in sideboard, shutters and whimsical woodwork.

A former pantry is now a galley kitchen with white subway tile walls, wood counters, wood floor and stainless steel appliances, including a dishwasher. The bedroom is large and overlooks the garden in the rear. It has wood floors and is fairly plain with not much hint of its former use as the house’s kitchen.

A door off the bedroom leads to a small extension that would make a fine office. It has a door to the shared backyard. The bathroom appears recent and fairly standard, with tan wall tile and a combo tub/shower. It can be accessed from the hall or the bedroom.

Unusually, the unit abounds in storage: There are four closets, storage under the stoop, and another storage space in the cellar. As well, there may be spots in the private entry vestibule and hall with space for shelves or hooks. The shared garden has a patio near the house and a large planting bed at the rear.

Listed by Erica Nieves of Corcoran, the apartment is asking $4,200 a month. Worth it?
