This one-bedroom in a former carriage house has some style potential and a desirable location in the Clinton Hill Historic District. It’s located in the rear of the second floor of 224 Hall Street, a two-story brick building across from Pratt and that institution’s sculpture park.

Of a similar age, old maps and ads show, the stable belonged to the tall 1877 Neo-Grec brownstone at 251 Washington Avenue, an old Brooklyn Eagle story shows. Its interesting brickwork, visible in an old tax photo, formed columns, recesses, and a delicate cornice jibing with a bigger carriage house next door. The facade has since taken on a Brutalist air with the addition of PermaStone.

Inside, the spare and minimalist wood floors and white walls could work with a number of decor choices. There is an entry foyer and space for books in the living room. While the apartment’s three windows are not huge, they are on two exposures, and there are three skylights.

In the recently updated kitchen are white Shaker style cupboards, a gray tile backsplash, and a stacked washer/dryer. The bathroom has a Deco tub and white hex tile floor. Closets number two, and mini-split air conditioning has been installed.

The no-fee apartment is having an open house today, Thursday, November 7 by appointment only from 4:30 to 5:30 p.m. Listed by Keith Arthur, Mipam Thurman, and Dan Bentov of Compass, the one-bedroom is priced at $3,300 a month. What do you think?
