As studios go, this is a grand one, with high ceilings and a giant wall of windows. Located at 279 Sterling Place in Prospect Heights, it’s a genuine loft in the converted P.S. 9 Annex, now a co-op. The 1895 Romanesque Revival stunner, a school designed by James Naughton, is landmarked.

In addition to the main room with its wood floors, moldings, and ceiling fan, the unit also has a kitchen in the rear with a lofted sleeping area or storage space above it. The wood floors continue into the kitchen, where there are white-painted cupboards, wood counters, open shelving, and a dishwasher.

The sleeping loft comes with a custom built queen bed. The classic bathroom has white subway tile walls and gray slate tile floors. There is also in-unit laundry, according to the listing.

The building has a shared garden and elevator. Board approval is required.

Listed by Nigel Hall and Margaret Simmons of Compass, it’s priced at $3,750 a month. What do you think?
