A six-room apartment appears in good condition and has tall ceilings, moldings and wood floors. It’s on the top floor of 203 Lefferts Avenue, a two-family row house in the Prospect Lefferts Gardens Historic, on a block that won Greenest Block in 2018.

The early 20th century house has a low stoop, red brick facade and limestone-clad bay window with rich ornamentation and egg-and-dart molding. The interior of the unit has the bells and whistles of the era, along with an updated kitchen and bathroom.

The flexible layout comprises a double parlor and small side bedroom in front, dining room and side kitchen in the rear, along with two windowless rooms originally meant to be bedrooms in the center.

Details include crown molding, picture rails and French doors. Replacement wood floors run throughout most of the apartment.

Both the parlor and dining room have a bay window and ceiling fan. What is likely a built-in corner dish cupboard in the dining room is indicated on the floor plan although not shown.

In the kitchen are white cupboards, white-painted bead board and a subway tile backsplash, along with a newer stove and fridge than what is shown in the photos, according to the listing. More subway tile is found in the classic black-and-white bathroom, where there is a pedestal sink and shower but no tub. The floor plan shows three closets, and there is shared laundry in the basement.

Listed by Claire McFeely of Compass, the two-bedroom is asking $3,150. Heat and hot water are included. Decent deal?
