\n This Murray Hill one-bedroom, as seen is this listing photo, feels inspired at least partially by the Harvard Club.

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: A one-bedroom that wishes it was a New York Public Library branch.<\/p>\n

20 East 35th Street, Apt. 9L<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\n This Murray Hill one-bedroom has some bold design choices, as seen in this listing photo, including the serious wood paneling and forest-green countertops in the kitchen.

A one-bedroom at the prewar Goodhue House on East 35th Street that looks equal parts Harvard Club and cigar room. The sunken living area is all parquet floors and dark-stained wooden built-ins\u00a0\u2014\u00a0a bold choice, but honestly a good place to toss the Mike Wallace<\/a> doorstops you\u2019ve been meaning to crack open \u2014 and it\u2019s all anchored around a custom decorative fireplace. The windowed kitchen comes with a pass-through breakfast bar, which most folks would appreciate, and forest-green countertops, which are less universally appealing. Things are fairly tame by comparison in the bedrooms, with beamed ceilings and enough space for a queen-size bed. The bathroom comes with a soaking tub and is perfectly serviceable, although you might want to call a contractor about the \u201cManhattan\u201d mosaic. It\u2019s $2,222 for the monthlies, and that gets you a 24-hour doorman, a live-in super, shared laundry, bike and private storage, and a shared roof deck with skyline views. You\u2019re a ten-minute walk to Bryant Park, and the 6 train is a four-minute walk around the corner.<\/p>\n

729 Greenwich Street, Apt. J28<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\n This West Village studio, as seen in this listing photo, managed to squeeze quite a few appliances into its tight corner kitchen.

This postage stamp of a studio reads like an English country cottage that\u2019s been slotted right into a Greenwich Street co-op (if you need further proof, it comes with its own private garden entrance too). The apartment underwent some renovations recently, among them a refresh of the wide-plank hardwood floors and installation of a new ceiling and electrical. (The Rejuvenation pendant lights are a fun touch, as is the vintage brass guard for the decorative fireplace.) The corner kitchen is well equipped, with a good spread of walnut butcher-block countertops, open shelving built into the exposed brick, and a Summit under-counter refrigerator (no dishwasher, though, in keeping with the rustic vibes). The bathroom is windowed and has a tub. The south-facing windows look out on the aforementioned garden, which helps keep things nice and quiet. The maintenance fees are $1,213 a month, which gets you access to basement storage, a bike-storage area, and a full-time super. Unlimited subletting is permitted after two years, too, if that\u2019s a concern. The Christopher Street 1 train is a seven-minute walk away, and the Hudson River promenade is even closer for sunset runs.<\/p>\n

118 East 60th Street, Apt. 11C<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\n This Lenox Hill one-bedroom, as seen in this listing photo, has an airy feel thanks to the open-concept kitchen.

A fairly large and sleek one-bedroom apartment in the Plaza Tower. Past a foyer sandwiched between a walk-in closet and two smaller ones is the airy living area, which gets decent light from the panels of oversize windows. This has your typical upscale open-concept kitchen (lots of storage space, top-shelf appliances, and marble countertops), and the adjacent dining nook leads out to a private balcony. (An alternative floor plan shows the dining area could be carved out into a tiny second bedroom with balcony access.) It looks like the bedroom doesn\u2019t come with a door, but it does have a massive walk-in and can easily hold a king-size mattress. The bathroom is spa inspired, with floor-to-ceiling marble and an enclosed shower. It\u2019s $2,478 a month for the maintenance fees in the full-service co-op, which gets you a 24-hour doorman and concierge, shared laundry, package room, bike room and storage, and roof-deck access. You\u2019re also right around the corner from a good selection of subway lines and Bloomingdale\u2019s, and it\u2019s less than a ten-minute walk to Central Park.<\/p>\n

467 Pacific Street, Apt. 4<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\n The living area of this Boerum Hill apartment, as seen in this listing photo, can fit a sofa, a television and console, and not much else.

A first-floor co-op on Pacific Street that\u2019s tucked in the back of the prewar building. The upside is it\u2019s nice and quiet, although the listing photos suggest decent light might be tough to come by. You can probably get creative with the long gallery entrance (hang some art, sure, but maybe shelving too?), and the living area can hold a couch and some bookshelves but probably not much else. The windowed kitchen has plenty of counter space and cabinetry plus a dishwasher (the listing claims it\u2019s an eat-in), and the bathroom has been updated with a new vanity. The bedrooms are pretty small, although the primary bedroom comes with some decent closet space. The second bedroom is definitely more of an office or nursery vibe. The $1,182 monthlies get you basement and bike storage plus shared laundry. Perhaps it\u2019s all worth the trade-off for the neighborhood, though: You\u2019re a couple of blocks from the Atlantic-Barclays transit-and-shopping hub, and Rucola is a five-minute walk away for its corn crema pasta.<\/p>\n
