A Park Slope One-Bedroom With Bay Windows and a Grand Fireplace for $495,000

"The living room has bay windows overlooking the treescape of Eighth Avenue and a decorative fireplace with a grand wooden mantle - a keeper. The apartment also has the original (and well maintained) parquet floors. There's enough space in the living room for a desk area and a two-seater dining table while the kitchen and bathroom have been refreshed with modern touches."

"This one-bedroom Chelsea co-op has a lovely little living room with a wood-burning fireplace and diffuse northern light, but it's really the apartment's backend that steals the show: The wood finishes feel light and earthy while the kitchen (which the listing calls an "homage" to the apartment's history) has solid wood cabinetry along with butcher-block countertops and a tile floor."
