The bedroom fits a queen and the bathroom has white subway tile and wood floors; the unit lacks built-in closets but the floor plan shows two freestanding wardrobes.

An intriguing one-bedroom for sale in an 1890s mansion in the Bedford Historic District is an income-restricted HDFC co-op and has original details as well as recent updates. Built for a clothing executive and his family, the 1891 Romanesque Revival pile is dripping with columns and terra-cotta ornament. It was designed by architect Peter J. Lauritzen, whose other notable buildings include the Union League Club in Crown Heights and the Offerman Building in Downtown Brooklyn.
While it's unclear how literally to take the virtually staged photos, they show an attractive living room with a stunning and unusual original mantel with period tile. The petite space is also outfitted with a small dining table. A recently renovated u-shaped kitchen is open to the main room and has white upper cupboards, a dishwasher, and wood floor with inlaid border. Another corner of the main room under the window is shown set up with a desk.
