For under a million dollars, one can find all sorts of housing configurations: park- and subway-adjacent studios, one-bedrooms hidden in carriage houses or former shoe factories, and even the occasional true two-bedroom. We’re combing the market for particularly spacious, nicely renovated, or otherwise worth-a-look apartments at various six-digit price points.
We found you a Park Avenue co-op with a poodle and some lovely stained glass in Brooklyn Heights.
A two-bedroom in Morningside Heights for $627,000
This two-bedroom, two-bathroom condo in a prewar elevator building has reasonable monthlies (a $726 common charge) and a great location, yet the windows are the true sell. Sure, it will need some updating, but the original details are all there.
A Manhattan Valley two-bedroom for $675,000
This co-op has been on the market for a while and just dropped another $25,000. (Maybe it’s the spiral stairs?) It’s a duplex with an odd if interesting layout, though it looks like the lower level will be short on light. Still, there are decent details — exposed-brick walls, built-in drawers — and apparently a “~50sf storage cage in the basement,” so do with that what you will.
A Carnegie Hill one-bedroom for $679,000
This co-op is good enough for the poodle featured in the listing photo so it’s good enough for you. With built-in bookshelves and storage, a nicely tiled bathroom, and French doors into the bedroom, it’s cute for one and cozy for two. Monthly maintenance is on the higher end — $1,755 — but there is a doorman and bike storage. And if you couldn’t already tell, “pets are welcome.”
A Brooklyn Heights one-bedroom for $695,000
This one-bedroom co-op has a lot of things working for it — stained-glass windows and a fireplace (decorative), for starters. The kitchen is small but renovated with custom cabinets and a dishwasher (the green tile is love it or hate it). On a quiet, landmarked block of Joralemon.
