A One-Bedroom in Park Slope With a Nice-Size Kitchen for $765,000

A One-Bedroom in Park Slope With a Nice-Size Kitchen for $765,000 The oversize east-facing window in the living area of this Park Slope one-bedroom, as seen in this listing photo, means you’ll get great morning light. 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, our picks include a Jackson Heights two-bedroom with great built-ins and a two-bedroom walk-up on the Upper West Side worth the hike. 130 Eighth Ave., Apt. 4B As seen in this listing photo, this large one-bedroom in Park Slope comes with plenty of room to stretch out, including a designated dining area. Photo: Compass This co-op is in the prettier north end of the neighborhood and just a block off Prospect Park (and just a bit farther from Grand Army Plaza and its subway station). The sellers also have put in some work, installing new appliances and a sleek sage-green backsplash in a galley kitchen that’s both flush with cabinet space and decently large. (The bathroom has a new vanity, and the tiles have been reglazed.) The common space is unusually generous, particularly the dining area, loaded with built-ins, that’s separate from the living room. The bedroom has two closets (another two are right outside) and can fit a king-size bed and a desk. The $1,555 monthlies get you a full-time doorman and a live-in super, on top of shared laundry and bike storage; there are parking spots to purchase or rent in the connected garage. 174 W. 89th St., Apt. 4D The living area of this Upper West Side two-bedroom, as seen in this listing photo, is quite spacious considering all the upholstery that can fit in it. Photo: Compass First, the bad news: This one’s at the top of a four-story walk-up (a “gentle few flights,” the listing notes). If you can handle that, it’s worth the schlep: The windows in the living area and primary bedroom face south, with views of the neighborhood through the treetops. Here, too, there’s proper living and dining space — a boon if you’re the entertaining type. It’s a galley kitchen, one where you might consider calling someone about the dated orange-y wood and terra-cotta-esque floor tiling. (On the plus side, there’s ample counter space and enough room underneath for washer and dryer units.) The primary bedroom has a pair of closets and enough room for a dresser and side tables, whereas the spartan second bedroom is situated on the opposite end of the apartment and is best suited for a home office or a very small child’s room. The monthlies are $1,680, delivering not many extras besides shared laundry and a bike room. You are, however, two blocks from Central Park, which is worth something, especially in October. 35-20 73rd St., Apt. 3O As seen in this listing photo, generous proportions are a selling point with this Jackson Heights two-bedroom, like the oversize foyer that can easily work as a library. Photo: Brown Harris Stevens The proportions of this apartment in the Mayfair, a 1937 co-op, are quite generous, starting with the oversize foyer that, with its many striking built-ins, is the logical place for your library. The eat-in kitchen has really swanky appliances — a Wolf stove and Viking hood and custom bamboo cabinetry from Henrybuilt, to name a few. At nearly 21 feet deep, the living room is spacious, with gorgeous parquet floors and oversize windows. The primary bedroom is almost as large, accessorized with a walk-in closet and updated en-suite bath; the second bedroom is also plenty big, with double exposures. It’s $1,243 for the monthlies, which cover a private garden, shared laundry, a bike room, and a live-in super. The location is pretty solid: You’re a six-minute walk from the many subways at 74th Street, and Angel, which our food critic declared one of best restaurants in the city and a “vegetarian haven,” is even closer. 86 Horatio St., Apt. 4D This studio apartment, as seen in this listing photos, seamlessly mixes new contemporary finishes with the historic fixtures like a wood-burning fireplace. Photo: Douglas Elliman Thanks to a recent gut renovation, what was once a sad white box a block from the Hudson is now a well-finished sardine can. The contemporary kitchen, small but warm, is clearly the centerpiece, and it somehow works with the exposed-brick wood-burning fireplace that gives the sleeping alcove a cozy vibe. The windows are north-facing, giving the space a nice all-day glow. The updated bathroom has a walk-in shower and forest-green tiles. As for storage, you’ll have to make do with a single walk-in closet just off the entry. It’s $1,058 for the maintenance, which, despite getting you just a bike room and live-in super, feels about right for the neighborhood. Welcome to the fluff-and-fold life.
