A rare true two-bedroom in a Sunset Park prewar co-op, this second-floor unit at 546 40th Street offers a flexible layout, original details and low maintenance. We like the alternative floor plan — probably the original layout — but the current combined dining-living room is spacious, as is the nicely updated kitchen. The unit has high ceilings, French doors, parquet and moldings.

The renovated bathroom is a looker, with mosaic tile walls and a clawfoot tub. True, the apartment is not long on closets (there are two, including a bedroom configured as a walk-in with custom shelving) but there is room for wardrobes, plus additional storage in the building’s trunk room.

Built in 1912 as a rental and known as The Florence, the walkup was converted to co-ops in the 1920s. The self-managed 16-unit, four-story building offers a shared laundry room, patio, bike storage and wood shop. Maintenance is $610 a month, and the apartment last changed hands in 2016 for $511,500. Listed by Tim Stanard and Andrew Weitsman of Corcoran, the apartment is asking $625,000. Decent deal?
