; Photo: Compass For under a million dollars, one can discover 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 marketplace for particularly large, well refurbished, or otherwise worth-a-look homes at numerous six-digit cost points.
This week, a research study in prewar contrasts in Clinton Hill.
184 Clinton Ave., Apt. 4A
As seen in this listing image, the kitchen might be a galley, but at least the home appliances
are nice. Photo: Compass A one-bed co-op on Clinton Hill’s Mansion Row, with all the splendour that features residing in a converted Queen Anne. Entering this leading flooring system, the great room is to the left, with lofty nine-foot ceilings, custom bookshelves, and a rather striking alcove. The inlaid parquet floorings and bathroom skylight add appeal on top of the beauty. The bedroom looks out on the structure’s shared garden, which suggests peaceful. The kitchen’s a galley, but the stainless-steel home appliances are top-shelf, and it’s home to the washer-dryer. At $1,100, the maintenance fees are workable, however truly do not get you much besides a seven-minute walk to Fort Greene Park or the G train, and Dekalb Opportunity’s restaurant row.
277 Washington Ave., Apt. 5J
As seen in this listing photo, this Clinton Hill one-bed
is heavy on prewar details. Picture: Compass Another Clinton Hill charmer, this one really everything about the prewar details: The wainscotting and trim are initial, the parquet floors are quite handsome. The large-scale leaded windows provide you views of Pratt’s campus, and– if you’re the masochist type– you can ruin the quietude with a home-office set-up in the bedroom. The subway-tiled restroom is classic. The cooking area is, well, almost nonexistent. When it comes to the monthlies, they aren’t crazy for the community: $1,302, which covers in-building laundry, a bike space, and private storage. You’re a little further away from Fort Greene Park, but on the plus side, you’re also a lot closer to the G train.
31 Jane St., Apt. 5A
As seen in this listing image, this Jane Street studio has a quite perfect design. Picture: Compass Honestly, it’s hard to imagine a better studio layout. This triangular joint at the Rembrandt, a well-maintained postwar co-op, has a nice little windowed alcove that can fit a queen, so don’t feel like you have to compromise your living-dining strategies. (The wall system is also a godsend if you’re a stuff sort of individual.) The renovated bathroom has terrific updates– porcelain tiles and an electrical medication cabinet (sounds good!)– and the cooking area is windowed, too, with a surprising quantity of counter space and, yes, a dishwashing machine. The monthlies are $1,198, which gets you a bike room, a full-time doorman, shared laundry, and a live-in super. You have actually got the Corner Restaurant across the street, the A, C, E, and L trains are a three-minute walk, and the Whitney Museum and High Line are simply down the street. And if you need help financing your West Village Woman way of life, co-purchasing, parents buying for their kids, guarantors, and subletting are all kosher here, too.
230 Riverside Dr., Apt. 15K
As seen in this listing picture, this Riverside Drive one-bed’s giant windows provide it a roomy and warm feel. Image: Corcoran
This one-bed sponsor system in a Riverside Drive condominium checks a great deal of our boxes. For one, it’s got huge south-facing windows, making the living-room both roomy and bright. When it comes to the rest, the bedroom’s got a walk-in closet, which isn’t something we ‘d ignore. The restroom is really day-spa in grayscale. They even squeezed in a wash-dryer. The kitchen’s a nook, but it’s windowed, with new appliances, marble counter tops and plenty of cabinets. The monthlies aren’t that bad for an Upper West Side apartment– $1,892– and get you a 24-hour doorman, a gym, bike storage, utility room, and access to a yard. (One thing to note: You’re on the hook here for the sale’s transfer taxes.) Riverside Park is outside your door, and you’re a five-minute walk from the 96th Street station.
