While not a ton of original detail has survived, the rooms in this Park Slope apartment do indeed appear to be large and light, as advertised around the turn of the last century. It’s perched on the third floor of a four-story Beaux-Arts flats building at 307 6th Avenue, just outside the historic district.

The tan brick building has a curved front with fine terra-cotta detail, arched window surrounds, and a heavy blue-painted cornice. In 1901, it was touting a unit with “nine large, light rooms and bath” that despite its size would be rented to a “small, select family only” for $55.

Those early French flats have since been subdivided so now the corner walkup has eight units in total, each with one or two bedrooms apiece.

In the rear of the building overlooking 2nd Street, Unit 3R has a flexible layout with two good-size bedrooms, one of which could also work as a separate dining room. A large foyer has space for a bench or chair and table.

Throughout are 10-foot-high ceilings, according to the listing, wood floors, white plaster walls, picture rails, and baseboard moldings. The eat-in kitchen is spacious, with a long, L-shaped counter, white cupboards, and terra-cotta tiles on the floor and backsplash. It also has a dishwasher and stacked washer/dryer.

The bathroom is not shown, and closets number three. There is additional storage in the basement, and a bit of decking on the roof.

The co-op is self managed, and maintenance is $735 a month. Listed by Maxine Resnick and Alyssa Morris of Compass, the apartment is asking $999,000. What do you think?
