"The one-bedroom apartment at 140 8th Avenue has wood floors, a foyer, and a dining nook. There is also the potential to tweak and divide the roomy layout to create a second bedroom. In the Park Slope Historic District, architect Martyn N. Weinstein designed the orange brick building with limestone trim, multi-paned black steel casement windows, and an Art Deco entrance."
"A small vestibule with three closets opens into the foyer. It still has an original built-in niche and arched doorway opening to the living room. There are two exposures in the living room, making it possible to create a second bedroom and not have a total lack of light and air in a smaller living room."
"It appears the bathroom retains most of its original details, at least from what is shown in the listing photo. There is a pedestal sink with what looks like period hardware, a tub, and white wall tile with black border tile and accessories. The mosaic tile floor has a bit of color with a glimpse of peach and burgundy."
