Sunset Park isn't a neighborhood particularly known for its grand co-op buildings, but this two-bedroom apartment comes from 570 44th Street, a 16-unit co-op built in 1914. The listing calls the building "one of the first Finnish co-ops in Sunset Park." In case you didn't know, parts of Sunset Park in the early 20th century were commonly known as "FinnTown," and the Finnish population built around 25 co-ops here. The building comes with original moldings and stained glass windows in the hallway. And this ground-floor apartment, which has just hit the market for $520,000, boasts some lovely details and quirks of its own.
