This two-bedroom co-op is bright, smartly laid out and well located. It’s at 147 South Oxford Street, on the second floor of a five-story, 20-unit prewar elevator building in Fort Greene.

The living room’s got double exposures, with windows that reveal some actual sky rather than opposing walls, so light is decent. There’s a dining alcove with a pass-through to the kitchen, which offers glossy white cabinetry, a Caesarstone-ish countertop and a subway tile backsplash.

The listing notes that you could make a third bedroom out of the dining alcove, and indeed you could, but it’d put a big dent in the unit’s livability, and seems ill advised. Your call, though.

Neither bedroom is what you might call large, but they’re both livable, with good closet space. There’s an additional closet in the foyer — no washer or dryer, but there’s laundry in the basement.

The A and C trains are a stone’s throw away at Lafayette Street station; so is Cuyler Gore Park and small but nice South Oxford Park and the adjoining tennis courts. And of course there’s a lot within walking distance, including Barclays Center, a pile of other subway trains and the LIRR, BAM, Fort Greene Park, and so on.

Listed by Erin Douglass and Ari Fliakos of Housebywe, the unit carries monthly maintenance charges of $714, and an asking price of $799,000. The last two-bedroom to sell in the building went for just under that a year ago ; how exactly it stacks up against this one we couldn’t tell you. Like the place?
