Flatbush One-Bedroom With Arched Doorways Asks $575K

"Originally known as the Foster Arms, the Colonial Revival-style red-brick building was designed by Morris Rothstein & Son with restrained details like a broken pediment and a Greek key pattern rendered in brick at the roofline, ornamenting the window sills of the central bay, and running above the main entrance. The original certificate of occupancy shows the six-story, 54-unit elevator building was completed in 1941, and an early brochure touted built-in bookcases, spacious closets, and cross ventilation."

"This apartment still has its original layout, as shown in the early floor plans. The foyer, with a built-in niche with shelves, has arched door openings to the large living room and a short hall. The latter leads to the kitchen with dining nook, the bedroom, and full bath. The listing includes an alternative floor plan suggesting dividing the living room to create a second bedroom, but this would create a windowless living room."

"This sizable one-bedroom in an elevator building has four closets, an eat-in kitchen, and a bedroom that can accommodate a king-sized bed. This roomy one-bedroom in Flatbush close to Ditmas Park appears in move-in condition and has four closets and some vintage details like a dining nook, arched doorways, and wood floors. It is on the second floor of the elevator building at 1825 Foster Avenue."
