Tucked under the eaves of a picturesque Queen Anne row house in Crown Heights, this one-bedroom floor-through with original details and recent updates doesn’t stint on charm.

Topped by a pointy gable and mixing arched windows with textured brick and rough-faced brick, 843 Lincoln Place was constructed circa 1899 by builder/architect Frederick L. Hine. It’s on a notably leafy block in the Crown Heights North II Historic District that earlier this week won the Brooklyn Botanic Garden’s Greenest Block in Brooklyn competition — for the third time.

On the top floor of the three-unit, four-story house, the apartment has high ceilings, five-panel wood doors, picture rail moldings, and wood floors. Plaster and trim are painted white throughout.

Both the living room and bedroom have carved wood mantels with brackets and black-painted summer covers. The kitchen, with a skylight, is in the middle of the unit, and newly renovated, according to the listing.

White Shaker-style cupboards and a white subway tile backsplash are punctuated by black and stainless-steel appliances, including a washer/dryer and dishwasher. One of two counters has black and white marbling, and there is space for a table. The floor is the now-ubiquitous gray faux wood laminate.

The color scheme continues in the bathroom, where recent updates include a tub/shower surround of white subway tile and a black and white tile floor. Closets number five.

There are only three windows in the unit, a floor plan in old listing shows, but two are on opposite exposures for a good cross breeze.

The tenant pays the broker fee, but the first month’s rent is free, according to the listing, from Compass agents Laura Rozos and Cole Horn. The rent is $3,500 a month. Worth it?
