On the parlor floor of an 1880s Neo-Grec, this Clinton Hill one-bedroom boasts pocket doors, mantels, moldings, and a ceiling medallion.

The five-family dwelling at 278 St. James Place is within the Clinton Hill South National Register Historic District. According to the nomination report, the brownstone was designed and built by the development team of Susanna Edith Cosey Russell and husband Walter C. Russell.

High ceilings and tall windows give a sense of space in the compact unit. Delineated with a tile floor, the kitchen takes up a section of the living room, which has one of the two mantels in the floor-through apartment. There’s a good amount of cabinet space, but no dishwasher.

Pocket doors lead to a bedroom with windows facing a rear yard. There is room for a king-sized bed, two closets, and an adjoining bath. That bath has white tile walls with black border tile and accessories.

Laundry is available in the adjoining building.

Listed with Andrew Appell and David Fernandez of Serhant, it is priced at $3,250 a month. Worth the rent?
