A One-Bedroom With Lovely Casement Windows in Brooklyn Heights for $765,000

A One-Bedroom With Lovely Casement Windows in Brooklyn Heights for $765,000 This Brooklyn Heights one-bedroom, as seen in a listing photo, has charming leafy views through its casement windows. Photo-Illustration: Curbed; Photo: Compass 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, we’ve got a spacious two-bedroom on the Upper West Side at a bargain price and the largest one-bedroom in a Far West Village co-op building. 70 Remsen St., Apt. 2C This one-bedroom’s living area, as seen in this listing photo, has some charm thanks to the beamed ceilings and robin’s-egg paint job. Photo: Compass This study in maximizing usable space in the Remsen, a 1928 hotel turned co-op with a striking Romanesque façade that’s all gargoyles and marble archways. The apartment’s 14-foot-long foyer can double as an office with the floor-to-ceiling built-ins. Past that is a living room with beamed ceilings, casement windows, and leafy street views. The kitchen’s ample counter space will make NYT Cooking subscribers swoon, and the bedroom is large enough for both a king-size bed and a reading nook. It’s an en-suite bath situation with a tub (and what looks like hardwood flooring within, a dodgy choice). The monthlies are steep — $2,046 — but they do cover a full-time doorman and concierge, a shared garden, in-building laundry, and a bike room. And you’re right in the heart of Brooklyn Heights, which means access to L’Appartement 4F’s flakiest croissants for breakfast and the various Borough Hall station lines for your commute. 323 W. 83rd St., Apt. 6B This Upper West Side two-bedroom, as seen in a listing photo, has enough space for a dining and living area, plus high ceilings. Photo: Compass How is a top-floor 950-square-foot two-bedroom co-op that’s less than a block from Riverside Park and below 96th Street in this price class? The ceilings are high (over nine and a half feet), the layout is spacious (the couch and dining table have plenty of room to breathe, and you can fit a king bed), and the views are decent. The primary bedroom has built-ins and a walk-in closet; the second bedroom is smaller but could easily get you through at least kindergarten. The kitchen and bathroom are decently renovated, if monochromatic and unexciting. The virtual staging gives the listing photos an unusually nice glow, but as far as we can see, there are no major tricks, like an expiring tax abatement. The monthlies are $1,857 and get you in-building laundry, a live-in super, storage space, and access to the communal roof deck one flight up. There’s an AMC less than two blocks away, and if you want to step up to Lincoln Center’s renowned 70-mm. Imax screen, the 1 train is close. 61 Horatio St., Apt. 5C The massive living area of this West Village one-bedroom, as seen in a listing photo, is the real centerpiece of this apartment. Photo: Compass It’s on the top floor (with an elevator) and said to be the largest one-bedroom in the building with a 17-foot-by-21.5-foot living area — enough space for a home office, a modest dining table, and a proper living-room setup without a real squeeze. The trade-off is the tiny pass-through kitchen with what looks like a one-person maximum capacity and a bedroom that doesn’t look like it can hold more than a dresser and a queen-size bed. The skylight adds some character to the mostly white bathroom. The maintenance fees are $1,828 a month, and they don’t get you much beyond the live-in super and shared laundry. The sell here is really the West Side location (“tier one,” per the listing) near the High Line and the Whitney. The Pastis cheeseburger around the corner may take the edge off the limitations on your ability to cook. 15 Jones St., 1H This West Village one-bedroom duplex, as seen in this listing photo, is long but narrow and good for someone without too much clutter. Photo: Compass Another West Village one-bedroom, yes, but this one’s a very different animal. It’s a duplex with a double-height window that brings pretty decent light into the living area upstairs, which is 21-feet deep. The renovated kitchen has been updated with stainless-steel appliances and nice quartzite countertops, although the cabinet space is tight. (The photos leave the sink situation a little unclear.) Downstairs is the bedroom with whitewashed exposed brick and a custom closet, although this is another dresser-only situation. There’s a bathroom on each floor, so you don’t have to run up and down the stairs every time you gotta go. This is probably a good pied-à-terre crash pad or an apartment for someone who doesn’t like clutter. It’s $1,370 for the monthlies — live-in super and communal laundry — and you’re spoiled for choice with nearby pizzerias (Joe’s, John’s, and L’Industrie, to name a few).
