This top-floor apartment in a circa 1910 neo-Renaissance brick townhouse in the Prospect Lefferts Gardens Historic District has a flexible floor plan and classic details, including wood floors, a bay window and painted woodwork. Located at at 205 Sterling Place, the pale yellow two-family house with a typical heavy cornice and incised stone details was designed by Louis Danacher.

Inside, there are high ceilings, parquet floors and a bit of paneling under the windows. The six-room unit has a typical floor plan of the time, with a double parlor in front connected by a wide doorway. The original dining room is in the rear, with a kitchen along the side. The unit’s original two bedrooms include a smaller one over the front entrance and a bigger one in the center of the apartment, identified on the floor plan as a “den.”

The rooms could be set up in any number of ways, and the floor plan shows the large rear room as a bedroom, with dining in the second parlor.
