An apartment in a frothy Beaux-Arts building in the Park Slope Historic District has plenty of original features and potential to expand. It’s located on the first floor of 135 Prospect Park West, a six-story, 43-unit elevator building across from Prospect Park.

Designed by Manhattan-based architects Sass & Smallheiser, the 1903 red brick structure has a rusticated pale stone base and elaborate Rococo details topping banks of windows and decorating its projecting two-story entrance. The entire building was once topped by a bracketed cornice, but only a section remains on the 8th Street facade.

The apartment has high ceilings, wood floors, unpainted woodwork, and a mantel as well as updates such as an open-plan kitchen. With two bedrooms and one bath, the floor plan could easily be reconfigured to create a third bedroom and possibly a second bathroom.

While the unit appears to be in move-in condition, a new owner could update by painting exposed brick and modern built-in shelving. The bathroom has been renovated with a white subway tile wainscot and hex tile floor. There are three closets, including a walk-in.

The building’s stately lobby has stroller storage, and there is shared laundry, bike storage, and a live-in super.

Maintenance for the apartment is $1,142. Listed by Judith Lief and Emilie Crouzet of Corcoran, it is asking $1.195 million. What do you think?
