It’s nothing fancy, but this one-bedroom converted to two is a relatively affordable and spacious option in a desirable part of Brooklyn. It’s part of the Clinton Hill Cooperatives, a practical option for families ever since they were built during World War II to solve a housing shortage for Navy officers and enlisted men.

The complex of 12 buildings stretching over what are called the North Campus and South Campus was designed by Harrison, Fouilhoux & Abramovitz. The location was chosen for its proximity to the Navy Yard, and the project was officially announced in 1942, with plans to house around 1,200 families.

This fourth-floor unit, No. 4e, is in the North Campus at 209 Clinton Avenue. The spacious living room has a parquet floor and plenty of room for a wall of bookshelves, lounging and dining. The main bedroom is almost as large, with two windows.

A second but still good size bedroom with two windows has been carved out of what was a dining area. The kitchen and the bathroom are both updated, although not particularly recently, the latter with some vintage-style black-and-white tile.

The kitchen has standard wood cabinets and a mosaic-tile backsplash. There is a dishwasher and seven closets, as well as shared laundry in the building.

Windows throughout the complex are new, as are Internet-connected “smart” Radiator Labs Cozys on all the radiators, according to the listing.

The monthly maintenance is $926, subletting is allowed after two years and there is a flip tax. Listed by Corcoran’s Tom Stuart, it’s asking $640,000. What do you think of it?
