Enjoy penthouse living without the seven-figure asking price with this 1-bedroom co-op in Sutton Place. The home is situated on the top floor of a six-story building and offers a generous 950 square feet of space. A large entry gallery leads into the sun-soaked living room with oak floors, floor-to-ceiling French windows, and a wood-burning fireplace framed by a brick mantel.

This charming Upper West Side studio is the perfect starter home with plenty of style to boot.

In the separate bedroom loft area, ceilings are nearly 7 feet high and provide plenty of storage underneath. Monthly maintenance is relatively low at just $861.
We’re loving the freestanding fireplace at this triplex penthouse on East 86th Street in Yorkville. The 1-bedroom abode features a living room nestled a few steps below the entry level, multiple skylights, white oak wood floors, and recessed lighting throughout. The kitchen boasts cherry wood cabinetry and new stainless steel appliances, all overlooking the living room. A custom-designed staircase, crafted from wood and metal, takes you up to the bedroom, which can easily fit a king-sized bed. There’s a custom-designed closet outfitted by The Closet Factory, and a Juliet balcony with northeast-facing views just outside of the living room.
Spanning 733 square feet, this 1-bedroom condo in Hamilton Heights is complete with exposed brick walls, a gas fireplace, a chef’s kitchen with lacquered cabinetry, and a washer/dryer unit. It’s also equipped with central air conditioning and offers a covetable semi-private south-facing rooftop terrace with wood decking. The apartment provides three large closets, but if that’s not enough, there’s an additional storage unit included with your purchase.
Head down to Greenwich Village, where this serene multi-level loft is up for grabs. The place is stunning, highlighted by soaring ceilings, crisp white brick walls, a sleek wood-burning fireplace, and a spacious sleeping loft.

Access the elevated sleeping loft via a stylish wooden staircase with a glass sidewall. The loft space can fit a queen-sized bed with enough room for a small home office as well. There’s also some great views of the surrounding neighborhood and its historic buildings.
