For those looking to spread out, this Windsor Terrace apartment has six closets, two bedrooms and a spacious layout. The space does come at a price, but the unit at 71 Ocean Parkway also has a renovated kitchen and bathroom, wood floors and some treetop views.

Named the Park Plaza Apartments upon completion in 1936, the six-story brick building was designed by the prolific Cohn Brothers. The firm designed the building to follow the curve of Ocean Avenue with gardens in the front leading to a central courtyard entrance. The streamlined bands of masonry that wrap around all three wings of the building are slightly more visible in the facade tax photos from around 1940when they were still clean and fresh. Other decorative embellishments have a touch of the medieval, with griffins, arches and a crenellated parapet.

Plans for the building were announced in 1935 and by early 1936 that was the case is advertised with the municipality’s ‘newest luxury apartments’. A brochure for the building boasted its location near Prospect Park, as well as amenities such as a rooftop garden and recreation room. The apartments themselves had modern details such as arched doorways, built-in clothes baskets and linoleum floors.

This unit retains the original layout, with living room and kitchen on one side of the unit and the two bedrooms on the other. The entrance opens into a hall filled with cupboards. One of the promised arched doorways leads to a foyer wide enough to accommodate furniture.

The foyer is open to the living room and kitchen. The first has wooden floors extending through most of the unit and space for a small dining area.

There is also a breakfast nook with windows in the kitchen. The renovated kitchen has white cabinets and countertops, a tile floor, a penny tile backsplash and updated appliances including a dishwasher.

On the other side of the apartment, the larger of the two bedrooms has room for a king-size bed, two configurations and one closet. The other bedroom is slightly smaller.

The bathroom features a black and blue tile floor with a striking pattern and updated fixtures, including a wooden sink. There are a total of six closets in the unit, including two of the walk-in variety.

Amenities in the building, now a co-op, include a gym, laundry room, bike storage and a live-in super. Access to storage cages is subject to availability, according to the listing. The maintenance for this unit is $1,228 per month.
