In an early 20th century dwelling close to Shore Road and Owl’s Head Park, this top-floor apartment has its own entrance and six rooms, including a sunroom and dining room. The two-family at 7115 Narrows Avenue in Bay Ridge is part of a row of 10 that entirely fills the block and faces another nearly identical row of 10 across the street.

The neo-Colonial brick houses are notable for their white-painted arched and segmented windows topped by stained glass, striking in old tax photos, although some have since been altered. The buildings also have dormers and arched entrances with keystones.

In the apartment, those eye-catching windows wrap the sunroom overlooking the street. A wide arched doorway flanked by built-in shelves leads to the living room with ceiling fan. Though another wide doorway is the dining room, with a closet and a window.

White walls, coved ceilings, picture rail moldings, and parquet with inlaid borders run throughout most of the unit.

The private entrance and one flight of stairs open to a small foyer opposite the kitchen, shown set up with a petite table in the virtually staged photos.

The updated kitchen has white cupboards, black and white tile backsplash, gray counters, and a dishwasher. The two bedrooms in the rear of the unit are good sized, each with two windows and a closet — bringing the total closet count in the unit to four.

The carpet in the bigger of the two bedrooms is new, according to the listing. The bathroom has also been updated. It has a black and white floor tile, a green-painted bead-board wainscot, and black hardware.

The houses have garages in the back off a shared alley. A “designated” outside parking spot is included with the rent, according to the listing.

Marketed by Laura Kleinman of Compass, the floor-through is priced at $3,300 a month. Worth it?
