A rambling prewar apartment has been updated with modern bathrooms and an angular open-plan great room with a bay window and inventive kitchen. Included in the monthly rent is a rare and coveted perk: a parking space in the building’s two-car garage.

The two-bedroom takes up the third floor of a rather grand red brick Queen Anne corner building with a green metal tower at 440 7th Avenue (also known as 341 15th Street). Built circa 1889 and now a condo, the four-story walkup with three apartments over a Japanese restaurant sits in the Park Slope Historic District.

White walls and wood floors run throughout most of the unit, wrapped on three sides by tall windows. Diagonal walls and two sets of bay windows create interesting nooks.

In listing photos, the great room is shown furnished for four uses: A lounge area with two windows and a chimney breast is wrapped in granny style brown and cream floral wallpaper.

A dining room table takes up a bay window, and a nook beyond is set up as a children’s play area. Facing the latter is a minimalist yet luxurious kitchen with white cupboards, marbled stone counters, terra-cotta tile floor, Miele dishwasher, and triangular island.

The main bedroom is more than 20 feet long, with five windows, a walk-in closet, and tower bay big enough for a home office. The smaller bedroom could probably fit a queen bed, and is outfitted with a wall of storage as well as a large closet.

The full bathroom mixes some fun tile — blue in the shower, multi-color with a 3D pattern on the floor, and square white wall tile — with a marble counter. A half bath lined up to the ceiling in square white tile contains a washer/dryer.

In addition to the apartment’s three closets and built-in storage tucked into niches and the kitchen island, there is additional storage in the garage plus a private storage unit in the building’s basement, according to the listing.

The apartment is available for move in January 15. An open house by appointment is set for Sunday, December 15 from 12:30 to 1:30 p.m.
