Petite yet grand at the same time, this studio apartment on the garden floor of a brownstone offers a relatively low price tag close to amenities such as Prospect Park and Grand Army Plaza. At 19 7th Avenue, it’s one of eight units in an 1880s Neo-Grec townhouse in the Park Slope Historic District.

Occupying what would have originally been the dining room of the house, the unit has wood wainscoting, a working fireplace with a carved wood mantel, and five windows with original shutters set into two angled bays. The front of the unit seems to have room for bookcases, lounging and dining.

Recently updated in classic black and white, the kitchen and bathroom, as well as built-in shelves and a walk-in closet, take up the rear. The kitchen has an under-the-counter fridge but no dishwasher.

Perhaps a clever designer could tweak the rear layout to create a sleeping niche away from windows. Even without renovations, a small dining table might fit in front of the fireplace and a daybed in the “dining area” or vice versa. The building has laundry and additional storage.

The monthly maintenance is $531. Listed by Carol Graham and Jennifer Wilson of Corcoran, the studio is asking $399,000. What do you think?
