A Prospect Heights one-bedroom carved out of a one-time French flat isn’t oversize, but high ceilings and banks of windows give it an airy aspect. It’s on the top floor of 118 Underhill Avenue, a four-story Renaissance Revival corner apartment building in the historic district.

Built circa 1892 by prolific builder William H. Reynolds in pale golden brick, the bow-fronted walkup combines a prominent cornice with cast-stone details, including a classically-inspired entrance portico flanked by columns. Likely originally comprising four two-bedroom flats, the property now has eight units.

This one is in the front, with an open main area that includes the building’s rounded corner bay, moldings, paneling, and a diagonal wood floor with inlaid borders. There is plenty of room for dining and lounging, and the space is ringed by five tall windows.

A pass-through to the modern kitchen includes a counter for bar stools, and an arched doorway leads to the hall.

In the kitchen is pale wood and glass-fronted cabinetry, a white subway tile backsplash, wood floor, and marble-patterned brown and cream stone counters. Appliances include an electric stove, microwave, and dishwasher.

The inlaid floors continue into the bedroom, where there is a picture rail and other moldings, a window, and closet. The updated bathroom is lined with large squares of stone that resembles travertine and square mosaic floor tile.
