"On the top floor of a 1920s Finnish co-operative in Sunset Park, this modest one-bedroom needs work to restore its floors but has potential with original moldings, high ceilings, big windows, and a sizable outdoor space with loggia. Facing the neighborhood's eponymous park but outside the historic district, the four-story, 33-unit building at 673 41st Street was built as nonprofit affordable housing by the Riverview Homes Association"
"Made of yellow brick with contrasting rust-colored brick details, the walkup has an eye-catching entrance with a pediment and columns, topped by a trio of loggias, one per floor. The u-shaped structure is situated on a corner and wraps around a courtyard, allowing for light and ventilation in the units. This apartment has windows on three exposures and access to the uppermost loggia, shared with one other unit."
On the top floor of a 1920s Finnish co-operative in Sunset Park, a modest one-bedroom requires floor restoration but retains original moldings, high ceilings, and large windows. The four-story, 33-unit yellow-brick building at 673 41st Street opened in 1924 as nonprofit affordable housing developed by Riverview Homes Association and designed by Eric O. Holmgren. The U-shaped walkup features a pedimented entrance with columns and stacked loggias, wrapping a courtyard for light and ventilation. The apartment has windows on three exposures and shared access to the upper loggia with views of the park, plus a basic kitchen and a bedroom opening to the terrace.
