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: prewar apartments with multiple bathrooms and multiple floors.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s something you don\u2019t see every day: a one-bedroom apartment with two (!) bathrooms. This co-op on Lincoln Place is a duplex with a spacious living area on the top floor that\u2019s heavy on wood: well-maintained hardwood floors and custom casing for the oversize window and sliding door to the deck. There\u2019s a perfectly sized breakfast nook off the kitchen, which is compact but comes with a lot of storage, stainless-steel appliances (full size, the listing notes), and counter seating. Downstairs is the bedroom with an en suite renovated bathroom and a walk-in closet, plus another sliding door that leads out to a private patio. It\u2019s $1,336 for the monthlies, which gets you a lot: a part-time doorman, a live-in super, shared laundry, a renovated fitness center, bike storage, and a roof deck. It\u2019s prime Prospect Heights, which means you\u2019re a block from the 2 and 3 trains and not much farther from the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, the Brooklyn Museum, and Prospect Park.<\/p>\n

A two-bedroom co-op on 34th Avenue has nearly 1,500 square feet to work with and a bit of a pedigree: The seller<\/a> is Stephen Orr, the former editor-in-chief of Better Homes & Gardens. A trio of walk-in closets lines the entry, which leads into a grand dining room that\u2019s ideal for big dinner parties. The windowed chef\u2019s kitchen has been nicely renovated \u2014\u00a0royal-azure cabinets, marble countertops, and some swanky stainless-steel appliances \u2014\u00a0and flows into a sweet corner breakfast nook with dual exposures. The primary bedroom can easily fit a king and comes with an en suite bath, plenty of closet space,\u00a0and dual exposures, including a bay-window setup. The second bedroom can also fit a king and comes with a wall of built-in shelving, too. The full bath\u2019s in the hallway and has been given a spa treatment with marble tiling. The maintenance fees average out to $1,514.23 thanks to a half-year abatement, and they get you a fitness center,\u00a0playroom, live-in super, and private outdoor space. It\u2019s a 13-minute schlep to the 7 train, but the Paseo Park Open Street is right outside your door.<\/p>\n

This two-bedroom condo on Greene Avenue is in a converted building from 1930, and that means prewar details like ten-foot ceilings and arched doorways throughout. It\u2019s got a handsome decorative fireplace in the living room, which also gets great all-day light thanks to a pair of south-facing oversize windows. The layout is pretty ideal with a long gallery hall that offers a buffer between the bedrooms. The windowed kitchen is a galley, so the living room also has to work as a dining room, but the butcher-block countertops are a nice touch, as is the custom lacquered cabinetry. The monthlies are $957, which gets you just a bike room and communal laundry, but you\u2019re a four-minute walk to the Classon Avenue G train and Radio Kwara and Speedy Romeo at the end of the block.<\/p>\n

A lofted one-bedroom co-op in a brownstone right down the block from the Museum of Natural History and Central Park. This one has some outstanding prewar details: 11-foot ceilings, exposed brick, and original woodwork casings with stained-glass transoms that frame the oversize windows. The living area is spacious enough, and the kitchen is an open-concept joint with a breakfast bar. (There\u2019s no dishwasher, but you do get an in-unit washer-dryer combo. Such is life.) There is a catch: The bedroom is more of a sleeping nook, but the price reflects that. Plus, the monthlies \u2014 just $637 \u2014 get you access to a roof deck. You\u2019re just a couple of blocks away from the 79th Street 1 train and Levain\u2019s gargantuan chocolate-chip\u2013walnut cookies.<\/p>\n
