This two-bedroom co-op in a 19th century townhouse has a front-facing balcony with views of Prospect Park, which is just across the street. While the unit is compact, it has a number of appealing features, including two mantels.

It’s on the top floor of 102 Prospect Park West, a brownstone in the historic district with four stories over a basement that was built as a single-family in 1899 and now contains five apartments. The exterior is thick with Beaux-Arts icing in the form of rusticated stone on the first level, a bull’s-eye window, wreaths, columns, scrolls and all manner of finely realized frippery.

The apartment interior has high ceilings, big windows, wood floors and original doors. It’s set up with a great room with open kitchen in front and two bedrooms in the rear.

With a wood mantel with original honey-colored tile, the space seems just big enough to accommodate lounging and dining. The modern u-shaped kitchen has a fair amount of counter space, though opening the dishwasher might be a squeeze.

The bedrooms are both attractive and large with decent storage space and mini-split air conditioning. One has walls of windows with a view of the Manhattan skyline, and the other has modern built-in storage and a painted wood mantel with original mottled blue tile.

The recently updated bathroom has attractive circa 1930s black and white wall tile and modern white fixtures. There are seven closets, including one containing a washer/dryer.

The walkup building has bicycle storage as well as additional storage in the basement. Monthly maintenance for the unit is $1,135. Listed by Suzanne Koxvold of Compass, it’s asking $1.2 million. Worth it?
