Dramatic Windows and Amenities Galore in a Gowanus One-Bed for $945,000

"There are custom arched windows in the living room and bedroom - dramatic and plenty of sky to take in. There are white oak floors throughout, and in the kitchen, Italian custom cabinetry along with Carrara marble countertops and backsplashes. The bathroom walls also have a marble situation going on (fluted, dark), and on the other side of the apartment, there's a bonus office space that's petite but has a well-placed window."

"The monthlies are $1,686, which might feel high given the Superfund of it all, but there's an amenities spread to match: a part-time and virtual doorman, a lobby lounge, a rooftop terrace with views of the harbor and Manhattan, a fitness center, a party room with a landscaped outdoor terrace, a game room, a children's playroom, a pet spa, and bicycle storage. Also, you're right around the corner from the 4th Avenue-9th Street Station for the R and F/G lines."

"1060 Park Avenue, Apt. PHB This one-bedroom co-op is a bit of a wild card, we'll admit. For one, the listing photos are scant, and the StreetEasy description warns that the unit needs, in all caps, a "FULL RENOVATION." Still, there are gorgeous parquet floors, a generous 23-foot-long living room with a fireplace and dual exposures"

Under $1 million, buyers can find park- and subway-adjacent studios, one-bedrooms hidden in carriage houses or former shoe factories, and occasional true two-bedrooms. A Gowanus one-bedroom at 229 9th St., Apt. 206 features custom arched windows, white oak floors, Italian cabinetry, Carrara marble countertops and backsplashes, a fluted dark-marble bathroom, and a petite bonus office. Monthly charges are $1,686, and the building includes a part-time and virtual doorman, lobby lounge, rooftop terrace, fitness center, party room with outdoor terrace, game room, children's playroom, pet spa, and bicycle storage, with close subway access. A Park Avenue penthouse co-op at 1060 Park Ave, Apt. PHB needs a full renovation but retains parquet floors and a generous living room with a fireplace and dual exposures.
