This petite but undeniably cute two-bedroom, one-bath rental occupies the front half of the second floor of a four-story 1886 Neo-Grec mixed-use corner building overlooking 7th Avenue in the Park Slope Historic District. At 160 Berkeley Place, it’s perched above an Ideal Properties real estate office about two blocks from Grand Army Plaza and Prospect Park.

The combo living-dining room is not large but full of character, with a square bay window at the corner set off by a bracketed plaster arch, wall sconces, high ceilings, moldings and parquet floor. The kitchen, in an adjacent niche with no windows, has white cupboards, black stone counters and a dishwasher.

The sink is shown without a faucet, but the same photos appear in old listings for all the front units.

The high ceilings, moldings and parquet continue in the bedrooms. It’s not clear whether either will fit a queen bed, but they both appear about equal in size.

The bathroom has a classic black and white scheme with an Art Deco style tub and shower. The listing does not mention whether there are any closets in the unit.

Turnover in the building, a walkup with six apartments, appears brisk since it was purchased by a Connecticut-based LLC in 2015 for $4.4 million.

Listed by Iman Zahrieh of the Ideal Properties office just below the unit, it’s asking $3,500 a month. Worth a look?
