In Brooklyn, the most popular $2 million listings this week show that buyers are aiming for the most space for their big bucks. Townhouses in Park Slope and Crown Heights with more than 2,300 square feet lead the way. Meanwhile in Manhattan, a classic Tribeca loft and two prewar gems in Midtown East show that discerning shoppers know quality when they see it. Let’s roll!
Nothing says Tribeca like a loft apartment, and this one in the Tribeca North Historic District is in a former 1880’s printing factory alongside 25 other units. It’s a 1-bedroom but at 1,432 square feet, is certainly convertible to a 2-bedroom. Plenty of built-ins and an open kitchen with long counter seating adds to the utility of the space. A separate bonus laundry/storage room comes with this unit, too! The building is pet-friendly and listing agent Amy Bergman Bonomi at Stribling notes that common charges at this condo include an ongoing assessment fee of $369.
This Windsor Place two-family townhouse in South Slope is attracting a slew of attention, thanks to the substantial rental income that can be generated from the ground-floor 1-bedroom apartment. The owner’s duplex unit sits above on the second and third floors and has 2 bedrooms, plus 2 additional rooms to be used as office space or guest rooms. Both units have backyard access. At $1.9 million, or under $900 a square foot, this 2,300-square-foot home is priced just a little higher than a 3-bedroom apartment in the neighborhood, which makes this a good value from Anthony Robles at Douglas Elliman. Prospect Park and the F and G trains are close by, too!

This gorgeous Crown Heights townhouse has been completely renovated while retaining classic touches such as plank floors and accent moldings. A pier mirror in the living room is breath-taking. But the real show-stopper is the modern kitchen with a huge center island, a wall of storage, handsome cabinetry and high-end appliances and it opens to the rear garden. It’s in a prime location close to cafes and restaurants on Nostrand, Kingston, and Franklin Avenues as well as the 2, 3, 4 and 5 subway lines. Justin Dupree of Compass is the listing agent.
At first glance, the $1.925 million list price from Marina Chukhriy at Douglas Elliman for this stunning maisonette duplex in Sutton Place looks like a bargain, but that’s offset a bit by the monthly carrying costs at $3,404 for taxes and maintenance. Regardless, this is a highly desirable apartment with more than 1,600 square feet over two floors in a luxury prewar building that has been home to Marilyn Monroe, Arthur Miller, Bobby Short, and Bill Blass.
The ocean of gleaming new subway tile from Anne Saks alone in the gorgeously renovated kitchen and two bathrooms is enough to seal the deal on this semi-formal but very comfortable apartment. It’s set in the Southgate, a prewar co-op by Emery Roth. Built in 1930 by Bing & Bing, it’s set on a quiet cul-de-sac in tony Beekman, so this is pedigree all the way. Central air, gallery foyer, eat-in kitchen with banquette: It’s a winner from Olga Neulist from Sotheby’s.
