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.

The original features appear in good condition and include paneling, molding, doors, and parquet and diagonal wood floors with inlaid borders with corner knots. Three of the rooms have original built-in wardrobes.

The kitchen has plenty of cupboards and counter space, quartzite stone counters, and a built-in microwave — though not, apparently, a dishwasher or laundry. There are also three ceiling fans in the unit.

An open house is set to take place Saturday, May 20 from 11:30 am to 12:30 pm Listed by Chrisette Mignott, Perri DeFino, and Morgan Munsey of Compass, the apartment is priced at $2,850 a month. What do you think of it?
