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're combing the market for particularly spacious, nicely renovated, or otherwise worth-a-look apartments at various six-digit price points. This week, a two-bedroom prewar in Jackson Heights with some modern touches and a railroad worth considering in Carroll Gardens.
The views from the sunken living room and the bedroom (which has three closets) are south-facing and the Brooklyn Museum, Brooklyn Public Library, and Prospect Park are basically right outside. The floors are a lovely blond parquet, and the kitchen has been recently renovated with stainless-steel appliances and quartz countertops. There's a dining alcove just outside the kitchen with a nicely sized foyer as a flex space.
