The original features of an apartment are its authentic characteristics: the elements of the apartment which have been there since the apartment was built or designed. An original feature of an apartment might be hardwood flooring, or a stone fireplace: physical elements of the apartment. A fireplace is a chimney, or a space used for making a fire within a house or apartment. "Stone" is concrete or mineral matter, formed from rock.

1 dust: Ah "dust", the cause of such misery in our lives... "Dust" is the reason why our girlfriends and wives tell us to stop watching the football, and to clean the top of the fridge. "Dust" is what we will all turn into when our miserable lives have ended. Ah dust... Dust? Anybody? No? Dust!
2 unoccupied: An "unoccupied (house)" is one which is not leased to or occupied by a tenant. Laura Kipper says "the apartment has been unoccupied for some time now", meaning that there is no tenants who are currently living in the apartment.
3 fireplace: The "fireplace" is usually the heart of the home, and is the ornamental base of the chimney. Originally it was where the stove or fire was situated, although most fireplaces no longer have actual fires in them. Their purpose these days is just to display photographs or ornaments. In the audio, Laura asks Jean to look at the "lovely original fireplace".
4 flat: A "flat" is a non-US English term that is synonymous with "apartment". It is a set of rooms usually on one floor. Like "apartments", "flats" can be rented or owned. My grandparents lived in (and owned) a two-bedroom flat with a dining room, a living room, a kitchen and a bathroom! Flats are great!
