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: We found some generous layouts.<\/p>\n

This one\u2019s a rare find: A three-bedroom, two-bath on the top floor of a prewar co-op for less than some one-bedrooms \u2014 which is why it\u2019s an HDFC, of course. If you can make it through all of the financial hoops<\/a>, the loftlike ceilings are stunning, and the common-area proportions are truly bonkers. (The views also are south- and east-facing, so you won\u2019t be lacking for natural light.) The kitchen\u2019s a windowed galley with a pass-through and breakfast bar, plus plenty of storage and Bosch stainless-steel appliances. The bathrooms have been updated with spalike marble, and the apartment comes with an in-unit Electrolux washer and dryer. There\u2019s new plumbing and electric, too, so hopefully no surprises down the road. The maintenance fees are also pretty tame at $1,164 a month, and other listings in the building describe an amenity spread that includes\u00a0a live-in super, a bike room, and a storage locker. You\u2019re less than a ten-minute walk from the 1 or the A\/C as well as Fort Washington Public House for happy hour Modelos.<\/p>\n

Another generous layout in another prewar co-op, this time in a one-bedroom right off Grand Army Plaza. The entry leads into a grand foyer that could work as a home office and flows through one of the apartment\u2019s many archways into an even grander living room with parquets and a pair of built-ins bookending the east-facing windows. The kitchen\u2019s another windowed galley with decent storage and a pass-through into the living area. The bathroom comes with a soaking tub but also a separate shower stall, which is a fun bonus. The bedroom gets the same eastern-facing exposures as the rest of the apartment and\u00a0an additional southern-facing window too. Also, there are four closets. The maintenance fees feel pretty steep \u2014\u00a0$1,840, plus a $69 monthly capital assessment right now \u2014\u00a0but there\u2019s a full-time doorman, a live-in super, a porter, a landscaped garden, shared laundry, and a bike room and storage locker. The location is primo, too: You\u2019re right by the 2\/3 trains, the Grand Army Plaza Greenmarket for your produce shopping, and No. 7 Restaurant for a very solid cheeseburger.<\/p>\n

333 W. 56th St., Apt. 6J<\/a><\/p>\n

This studio at Parc Vendome condos feels like it\u2019s angling for a pied-\u00e0-terre buyer, which perhaps is your thing. The living area is impressively large with enough space for a proper dining setup\u00a0and sofa, and the oversize windows face south for all-day glow. The sleeping alcove can fit a full bed, and there\u2019s a dressing area next to one of the apartment\u2019s two closets. The kitchen feels a little dated and tight, particularly on counter space, but a refresh could help there. The bathroom, on the other hand, is quite glamorous with its original prewar details, including a soaking tub and checkerboard tiling. At $2,035 for the common charges and taxes, plus a $104 capital assessment, the monthlies are up there, but they do include electricity, gas, heat, and water and get you access to a sprawling English garden and a pair of sundecks, on top of a 24-hour doorman and live-in super. You\u2019re right down the block from Carnegie Hall to put your membership to use, and the 57th Street subway station is just a seven-minute walk away \u2014 also the Nordstrom NYC Flagship, which people sleep on but is fantastic, per my editor.<\/p>\n

527 8th St., Apt. 3A\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

The parquets and south-facing windows with views of\u00a0leafy 8th Street are charming, as are the ceiling moldings of this studio. The kitchen is windowed and has been renovated with some simple Shaker-style cabinetry, while the bathroom feels pretty classic \u2014 and you should definitely keep the aquamarine tiling. This apartment is on the smaller side of the spectrum for studios we\u2019ve seen lately (and there\u2019s no dishwasher), but you are just a half-block walk to Prospect Park and the Seventh Avenue F\/G station. The $638 monthly maintenance fees get you bike storage and in-building laundry, and there is a basement storage locker, although it sounds like that\u2019ll cost extra. This one is cute and just right for someone out there.<\/p>\n
