This one-bedroom apartment in Stuyvesant Heights is thoughtfully renovated, with a stylish kitchen and a smart layout. It’s on the garden floor of an 1889 brownstone at 588 Madison Street, where the triplex upstairs is also for rent.

At 750 square feet, it’s got the bedroom in the rear, with windows facing the private garden; the living room is in front with the kitchen, bath and a large closet in between. There are nice new white oak floors all the way through.

The house’s redo was designed by a professional — the house’s former owner, Brooklyn artist and furniture and interiors designer Christiaan Bunce of KGBL — and it shows. The kitchen is quite fetching, with a lovely walnut-topped island, a nice blue-tile backsplash and wood-trimmed open shelves built into the cabinetry. Looks like there’d be a room for a small table in there as well.

Listed by Compass brokers Trisha Goff and Camille Zarsky, the apartment — viewable at an open house Saturday from 12:30 to 2 p.m. — is renting for $2,500 a month, with a free month’s rent on a 12-month lease. What do you think of it?
