A Prospect Heights One-Bedroom With All-Day Light for $899,000

A Prospect Heights One-Bedroom With All-Day Light for $899,000 This Prospect Heights one-bedroom’s south-facing windows, as seen in this listing photo, will do wonders for your plants. Photo-Illustration: Curbed; Photo: Corcoran 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 pretty pristine rowhouse in Glendale and dueling two-full-bath apartments on the Upper West Side and Upper East Side. 10 Plaza St. East, Apt. 4B This Prospect Heights one-bedroom, as seen in this listing photo, looks spacious enough to handle a crowd. Photo: Corcoran Another week, another oversize one-bedroom on Grand Army Plaza. The renovated kitchen has been fixed up with an inviting breakfast bar and zippy golden motifs. In the living and dining areas, there are south-facing exposures with tree-line views and all-day light your house plants will thank you for. You get more of those views in the bedroom, where you can drop a king-size bed and a dresser without too much thought. As for the bathroom, it’s a spa-inspired setup with standard-issue subway tilework. The maintenance fees are $1,501 and cover a bike room, in-building laundry, and additional storage, plus a live-in super and full-time doorman. Prospect Park is practically your front yard, which will be even more appealing if the plaza gets rebuilt so it’s less of a Frogger death trap, and you can step right outside and duck into the 2/3 train station. 75-36 61st St. This two-family home in Glendale, as seen in this listing photo, gets great light from the bay windows on either end of the floors. Photo: Compass This rowhouse from 1905 is in pretty good shape considering it’s been off the market for 40 years. An original wooden staircase connects the floors, which are laid out railroad style and bookended by bright bay windows. There’s lots of wood here: hardwood floors throughout, paneled built-ins, and some wainscoting that could use a light refresh. The house also presents a choose-your-own adventure situation: You can call up your architect to rework it into a single-family home, or you can keep the divisions and begin your landlord era; whatever you decide, the taxes are just under $7,700 per year. Mind you, you’re in a deeply suburban part of Queens, just past Ridgewood, and it’s a 15-minute walk minimum to the nearest subway station or spots like Hellbender and Pierogi Boys. That said, a future IBX station is planned just two blocks away on Myrtle Avenue, making development’s eastward expansion seem all but guaranteed. 239 Riverside Drive, Apt. 1AB This one-bedroom on the Upper West Side, as seen in this listing photo, has great moldings and warm hardwood floors. Photo: Compass The sellers recently gut-renovated this garden-level apartment, and the results are good moldings, herringbone wooden floors, and a giant decorative fireplace tying it all together. The kitchen is glossy but efficient — marble countertops and some floating shelving — and connects the space to the bedroom, which can fit a king-size bed. Does this place need two full bathrooms, one en suite with a tub and another with a shower stall? Probably not, but certainly no couple rushing out the door in the mornings will complain about that, and the same goes for the walk-in closet, which, per the listing, could become a home office. There’s a shared garden and patio out back, covered by the $2,035 monthly maintenance fees, as are the in-building laundry and storage facilities. 220 E. 87th St., Apt. 2EF The open-concept kitchen at this Upper East Side two-bedroom, as seen in this listing photo, helps the common spaces feel less cramped. Photo: Compass Here you get all the perks of a decent combo job without the headaches of actually doing it. One of the two units has been converted into the sprawling primary bedroom with some freed-up space now filled with a quartet of closets (including a walk-in that could also house an in-unit washer-dryer) and a full bath. (A second full bath is around the corner from the entry foyer.) The living area feels particularly airy thanks to an open kitchen that’s dressed up in dark Shaker cabinetry and a fair amount of counter space. The second bedroom is considerably smaller and has a brick-wall view, but at least it gets its own closet. The monthlies are $2,532 and cover a bike room plus in-building laundry. Storage units cost extra. You’re two blocks from (arguably) the city’s best chocolate-cream pie at Mia’s Bakery, not to mention a huge Whole Foods Market at the end of the block.
