"Original floor plans reveal that not much has changed with the layout of this unit other than the removal of the dining alcove in favor of an expanded kitchen. A central foyer provides access to the living room on one side and the bedroom on the other. The apartment last sold in 2022. An old listing shows that work after the sale included updates to the kitchen and bath as well as new storage"
"Some of that storage is in the living room where there is now a wall of built-in bookshelves. A mural wallpaper of fruit trees was added to one wall while the rest of the walls and trim are painted white. The floor plan shows that the room also boasts a corner window and enough space for a sitting and dining setup"
"The original dining alcove had already been eliminated before the last sale and the recent reno took advantage of the space to increase the cabinets and amenities. The windowed space now has blue base cabinets, white subway tiles, and a dishwasher. While the bedroom still has its original small closet there is now a wall of built-in storage. A sleek glass enclosed shower took the place of the original tub in the bath"
First-floor Windsor Terrace one-bedroom at 140 East 2nd Street retains its 1940s layout with spacious rooms and original features while receiving targeted updates. The 114-unit brick building, completed in 1941 and designed by Martyn N. Weinstein with Colonial Revival touches, sits near Green-Wood Cemetery’s Fort Hamilton entrance. The unit’s dining alcove was removed previously and a recent renovation expanded the kitchen with blue base cabinets, white subway tiles, and a dishwasher. The living room gained built-in bookshelves and a fruit-tree mural wallpaper. The bedroom now includes built-in storage, and the bath features a glass-enclosed shower replacing the tub.
