Six-Room Edwardian Flat in East Flatbush Asks $2,850 a Month

This early 20th century floor-through on the top floor of a bow-fronted limestone appears well kept and largely intact, with attractive floors with inlaid borders, wall moldings, and built-ins. It’s located on the second floor of 242 East 32nd Street, a three-family row house in East Flatbush.

The six-room apartment has high ceilings and a flexible floor plan. The layout includes a double parlor in the front, windowless room in the center, large bedroom in the rear, half bedroom in the front, and rear side kitchen.
