They say a million bucks ain’t what it used to be.
Which is patently, obviously, overwhelmingly true.
But there’s still some value to be had in the NYC real-estate market, as evidenced by these six sub-$1M dwellings we’d be chuffed to call home.
From a house with seven bedrooms to a bachelor pad with a basketball court, these are homes worth investing in.
And living in, in the meantime.
140 Tysen Street, Staten Island – $995,000
The basics: 7 bedrooms, 3 ½ baths, 3,712 sq. ft.
The business: For one, it’s an entire house. Budding families, it might just be high time to move out of the city and head for the island. This Colonial-style home features lovely original hardwood floors, a breathtaking staircase and its own 6,600-square-foot lot.
267 East 7th Street – $939,000
The basics: 1 bedroom, 1 bath, 750 sq. ft.
The business: This newly listed East Village co-op, on the other hand, has bachelor pad written all over it. Tucked away in a five-unit building, the apartment has a walk-in closet, keyless entry, a dishwasher and most notably a sprawling, landscaped garden space for relishing sunnier days to come.
320 Central Park – $929,000
The basics: 1 bedroom, 1 bath
The business: Live the dream on Central Park West. This elegant lil’ abode features nine-foot ceilings, four massive closets (including a bedroom walk-in), oversized windows for bird/people watching and a fitness center and playroom on-site.
1855 Adam C Powell Boulevard – $995,000
The basics: 3 bedrooms, 2 baths
The business: A prewar co-op a few steps from Central Park North. The apartment has all the modern conveniences one could hope for but still retains that old school New York aesthetic. There’s a formal dining room for gracious-sized dinner parties, butler’s pantry, washer and dryer and heaps of sunshine thanks to the southern exposure.
306 Gold Street, Brooklyn – $949,000
The basics: 1 bedroom, 1 bath, 863 sq. ft.
The business: Little but luxurious, this South West facing corner home has big ol’ oversized windows, custom closets, tons of storage space, trés awesome concrete countertops and amenities out the wazoo. On-site the building offers a lounge with pool table, fitness center, pool, sauna, basketball and squash court, and a screening room.
523 8th Street, Brooklyn – $995,000
The basics: 2 bedrooms, one bath
The business: Exposed brick, renovated kitchen and tin ceilings in a prewar co-op. Sold. The gem also features a nursery that could easily be converted into a third small-ish bedroom or home office.
