The million-dollar apartment in New York City is a special category. Buyers expect a lot at this price point! It’s also the price threshold at which the city’s mansion tax kicks in. To avoid paying that tax, buyers often aim for properties listed just shy of the mark. Here are five fabulous NYC apartments for $1M, or just under, that tell that tale.
Take a prime West Village location. Add a converted Industrial-era print house, and here’s what you get! More than 175 StreetEasy shoppers call this loft-style NYC apartment for $1M a favorite. With barrel-vaulted ceilings and a private terrace, every aspect of this co-op is compelling. That includes the sleek kitchen, decked in high-end appliances with a dishwasher. The Hallanan is pet-friendly and offers generous purchasing rules.
Our next stop is a 2-bed/2-bath in a Manhattan landmark. The Armory was built in 1929 for the U.S. Army Reserve and later converted to apartments. High ceilings and split bedrooms set the tone for this 1,150-square-foot unit. The kitchen (with dishwasher) and both bathrooms have been beautifully remodeled. Huge, south-facing windows provide great natural light, too. And it’s conveniently close to Hudson River Park.
StreetEasy shoppers are savvy. More than 85 call this Williamsburg duplex a favorite, and they’re right. It’s amazing! Set in a boutique condo with just four other units, this NYC apartment for $1M has everything you need. The main floor is open and studded with windows, a half bath, and laundry. There’s also a high-end open kitchen with dishwasher. Upstairs, two bedrooms and two full bathrooms round things out perfectly.
Prime Slope with a private roof deck. Those two items alone make our next NYC apartment for $1M a total score! This 2-bedroom has the elegance you’d expect from a brownstone apartment, with modern upgrades. An open kitchen sports a breakfast bar and dishwasher. A wood-burning fireplace sits in a brick surround. Closets are conveniently located throughout. Plus, a storage unit comes with the sale. But let’s end where we started: up on the roof. All yours!
Feast your eyes on this luxurious Red Hook condo. The industrial-chic interior under 12-foot ceilings is a total “wow.” This NYC apartment for $1M is in the Imlay, a bold development making waves along the Brooklyn waterfront. The 975-square-foot space offers a bedroom plus a den or office. There are also two full baths, in-unit laundry, and central air. And then there are those stunning windows overlooking the riverfront and harbor.
