This four-room apartment in a Park Slope brownstone has some choice original details and a flexible layout that makes for a spacious one-bedroom that could also work as a two-bedroom. It’s on the garden floor of a late 19th century Neo-Grec row house at 355 5th Street.

A private entrance under the stoop opens to a small vestibule, which leads to a sizable foyer and hall with room for storage. The large front room, originally the house’s dining room, has striking original wood floors, gray carved marble mantel, moldings, paneling, and shutters.

A wide arched doorway leads to an interior room that could work as an office or dining room. (A photo shows it equipped with Ikea wardrobes.) Beyond is a large kitchen with dishwasher, built-in microwave, and tile floor. While not the latest style, the wood counters and laminate counters appear well kept.

The kitchen also has two window-sized openings for air and light that are open to the bedroom, in a rear addition. Prospective tenants who want to use the unit as a two-bedroom could potentially fill the openings with removable frosted panels.

The bedroom has two windows that look onto the garden, a wall-through A/C unit, and a washer and dryer behind double doors. Its closet is one of two in the apartment.

The fairly standard bathroom has beige tile on the floor and walls and a combo tub-shower.

A door in the rear bedroom leads out to the garden. A virtually staged photo shows planting beds and a u-shaped concrete pathway covered at one end by a wood deck. While pets are not allowed, this unit appears to have exclusive use of the backyard.

An open house is scheduled from noon to 1:30 p.m. Sunday, March 19. Listed by Compass agents Jessica Hirsch and Claire McNamara, it’s priced at $3,300 a month. Decent deal?
