A One-Bedroom in Yorkville With a Massive Solarium for $799,000

A One-Bedroom in Yorkville With a Massive Solarium for $799,000 The solarium is the main draw in this Yorkville one-bedroom, as seen in this listing photo. Photo-Illustration: Curbed; Photo: The Agency 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. This week: A Fort Greene studio with Gothic church-spire views. 225 East 86th Street, Apt. 905 This Yorkville one-bedroom, as seen in this listing photo, feels airy and light filled thanks to the dining area’s wall of windows. Photo: The Agency The draw for this one-bedroom on East 86th Street hits you right away: the giant solarium stretching across the wall of the living-dining space. The unit is south-facing, which means you’ll get the all-day light through those massive windows on top of good city views. As for the rest of the space, the open-concept kitchen’s peninsula and granite countertops are a nice touch, as is the fact that the bedroom is big enough for a king-size mattress and a home office. The bathroom has a soaking tub but also clay tilework that feels straight out of the 1980s, which will have its moment again soon enough. The location is right down the block from the 86th Street Q station and a few more blocks from Butterfield Market. The $2,203 monthlies get you a full-time doorman, live-in super, rooftop garden, shared laundry, and private storage. 254 West 82nd Street, Apt. 1C This Upper West Side one-bedroom, as seen in this listing photo, has some charming original details. Photo: SERHANT Heading to the other side of Central Park, here’s a West 82nd Street one-bedroom with plenty of prewar details. The living area has an original decorative fireplace framed by a handsome mantel, and the south-facing bay windows are lined with wooden trim. Through the original archway is a foyer that can hold a small dining setup, followed by a renovated kitchen that makes up for its matchbox size with a ridiculous amount of cabinets. The only real downside here is that it’s a first-floor unit with some dud views, but the listing insists that it manages to get great natural light (you can decide that for yourself). On the plus side, the maintenance fees feel surprisingly reasonable for the neighborhood — $1,043 a month — which get you a storage unit, gym, playroom, and roof deck, along with a super, a porter, and a part-time doorman. Plus you’re a five-minute walk from Riverside Park and even less to Zabar’s for your Sunday bagel spread. 35-27 76th Street, Apt. 2 This Jackson Heights two-bedroom, as seen in this listing photo, is a classic garden co-op with some modern touches. Photo: Compass This two-bedroom, two-bathroom is in the Hawthorne Court garden apartment co-op in Jackson Heights, which has a reputation for its fairly generous proportions. This ground-floor unit looks the part, with full-size living and dining areas that have inlaid hardwood floors and dual exposures from the oversize windows. The roominess extends to the modern windowed kitchen, which has stainless-steel appliances and a surprising amount of counter space. The primary bedroom is roughly 13-by-13.5 feet, with two large windows and a single closet; it’s situated right next to a spalike bathroom with a soaking tub. The layout here is pretty ideal for kids, too, with the secondary bedroom on the opposite end of the apartment. It’s perhaps even nicer than the primary bedroom: This one comes with an en suite shower-stall bathroom and an extremely generous walk-in closet, plus dual exposures overlooking the landscaped interior courtyard. The $1,245 monthlies cover a live-in super, shared laundry, and storage bin, along with access to the aforementioned courtyard. It’s an eight-minute walk to the 74th Street station and its myriad subway lines, and just four minutes to Angel for its well-done version of saag paneer. 101 Lafayette Avenue, Apt. 5E This Fort Greene studio, as seen in this listing photo, feels pretty spacious thanks to its high ceilings. Photo: Compass This fifth-floor studio at Griffin, an Art Deco co-op in Fort Greene that was built in 1931, manages to do quite a bit with just 520 square feet. The gorgeous oversize steel casement windows get you views of the leafy treetops and Gothic church spires, in addition to all that lovely eastern light. The living area is particularly spacious thanks to the high beamed ceilings, and it seems like it can accommodate your usual needs — a couch, a small dining table — without feeling too cramped next to the sleeping alcove (the current owner appears to have installed a retractable divider, if you need the extra privacy). The renovated kitchen has had a particularly stylish makeover, with lacquered burgundy-and-white cabinets, and there’s a window that’ll come in handy for ventilation. The bathroom has been updated, too, with black-and-white tilework, but it comes with the original soaking tub. The monthlies are $824 and come with a 24-hour doorman, live-in super, bike room, in-building laundry, and two elevators. Fort Greene Park is down the block, the G and C trains are less than two blocks away, and FancyFree is right down the block if you ever want to watch Arsenal matches next to Spike Lee and Zohran Mamdani.
