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\u2019re combing the market for particularly spacious, nicely renovated, or otherwise worth-a-look apartments at various six-digit price points.\u00a0<\/p>\n

This week: fireplaces and tin ceilings.<\/p>\n

33-39 80 St., Apt. 1<\/a><\/p>\n

\n As seen in this listing photo, this three-bed in Jackson Heights gets plenty of light.

We come across a lot of practically perfect Jackson Heights garden co-ops here, but this three-bed, two-bath in the Towers still stands out. It\u2019s a half-floor apartment with many charming details: nine-foot ceilings,\u00a0inlaid oak parquets, a working wood-burning fireplace, and a Juliet balcony to the shared leafy courtyard. The foyer has a step-up entry from the front door, which feels elegant, and the living room is spacious with lovely touches in every direction \u2014\u00a0notice the built-ins with the arches that bookend the fireplace. The primary and second bedrooms are well proportioned with dual exposures, while the third comes with an updated en suite bathroom. The renovated kitchen has\u00a0plenty of cabinet space and Bosch appliances. The maintenance is $2,053 a month, which gets you a bike room, in-building laundry, additional storage, and a live-in super. The 34th Avenue Open Street is just at the corner, and you\u2019ve got the Queensboro at the other end whenever you\u2019re in the mood for pizza and clam garlic bread.\u00a0The only downside is it\u2019s a 13-minute hike to the 7.<\/p>\n

418 \u00bd E. 9th St., Apt. 3B<\/a><\/p>\n

\n As seen in this listing photo, this East Village one-bedroom is open and loftlike.

A renovated one-bedroom duplex co-op that\u2019s a little kooky but also very much updated. The bottom floor is classic East Village \u2014\u00a0exposed-wood beams from the 11-foot ceilings, the brickwork in\u00a0the living room (which has a working fireplace), hardwood floors. The kitchen also seems quite luxe \u2014 an Italian steel range, a dishwasher, floral floor tiling. Upstairs, the bedroom has tin ceilings and room enough for whatever arrangement you want. (Plus a walk-in closet.) The renovated bathroom is aggressively red, but it comes with a claw-foot tub and in-unit washer-dryer. (Other modern comforts include a pair of mini-split systems.) The monthly maintenance is $1,411, which gets you roof rights and a two-minute walk to Tompkins Square Park. Apparently the board is chill, though, and you\u2019re allowed up to four years of renting after a year of living there. Like most of the neighborhood stock of prewars, it\u2019s a walk-up.<\/p>\n

100 Newel St., Apt. 4R<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\n As seen in this listing photo, this Greenpoint one-bed has a charming decorative fireplace.

We don\u2019t feature Greenpoint much here, I realize. So here\u2019s a top-floor one-bedroom in a 1920s townhouse that gets decent light thanks to the east-west exposures. To the left is the airy eat-in kitchen, with tin ceilings, beadboard cabinetry, and an exposed-brick accent wall. Rustic! The dark middle room is probably the bedroom and currently comes with a teeny office nook already carved out. What\u2019s likely to be the living area is\u00a0decently sized, too, and comes with a decorative fireplace with a soapstone mantel. The bathroom\u2019s simple and well maintained. The monthlies are $600, which covers heat and hot water, along with a bike room, your own storage locker, in-building laundry, and access to a communal garden. You\u2019re down the block from Chrissy\u2019s Pizza for very good pies, and a six-minute walk to the G at Nassau Avenue.<\/p>\n

251 Pacific St., Apt. 22<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Another top-floor two-bedroom co-op, which feels like a starter family apartment for this slice of Brooklyn. It\u2019s got windows in just about every room (no wall views, thank God). The living area is decently proportioned for proper dining space next to the svelte kitchen (the appliances there \u2014 a Maytag fridge, Bosch dishwasher, etc. \u2014\u00a0aren\u2019t shabby). The main bedroom comes with a custom closet and some leafy views, the second bedroom can hold a nursery or a home office, and an in-unit washer-dryer is tucked away in the gallery. The monthlies are $1,313 and get you access to a storage locker (with an additional $20 a month cost) plus a bike room, stroller and scooter storage, and shared laundry. You\u2019re just off Atlantic Avenue, which means a five-minute walk or less to Sahadi\u2019s or Trader Joe\u2019s and just four minutes to the Bergen Street F\/G.<\/p>\n
