5 Fixer-Uppers Ready to Become Your Dream Home

Welcome to the ultimate Brooklyn dream! Our first NYC fixer upper is a single-family limestone townhouse, with barrel-front windows and a big backyard. It needs work for sure, but plenty of enviable original features are intact, including inlaid hardwood floors. Other prewar details include a gracious tiled entry, a fabulous staircase, and decorative molding galore. The full basement can be finished to become a third level of living space. Contact a StreetEasy Expert on the listing for more info on this unique Crown Heights opportunity. (StreetEasy Experts are agents with proven experience in a particular building or area.)

Next up is a spacious estate-condition 1BR in Hudson Heights’s Castle Village. The full-service co-op complex boasts a lush, park-like setting and excellent river views. This NYC fixer upper has great bones, with an expansive sunken living room and a separate dining area. The dated kitchen and bath need sprucing up. But you’ll want to keep vintage details like the herringbone hardwoods and curved iron railings. Reach out to a StreetEasy Expert on the listing to learn more.

This two-unit listing in prime Chelsea gives you the option to combine both apartments into one giant dream home. You don’t find that kind of opportunity every day — especially for more than a million dollars below Chelsea’s median asking price of $2M. Both units are in pretty rough shape, so use that savings to renovate. You’ll soon have a spacious, two-bed, two-bath home in an unbeatable location. Contact a StreetEasy Expert on the listing for more info.

Here’s a Lincoln Square corner unit that could become a real beauty with some TLC. Its location is fabulous, in a full-service co-op that’s halfway between Central Park and Riverside Park. The floors and kitchen are a bit outdated, and it would certainly benefit from a fresh coat of paint. But there’s lots of closet space, big windows, and loads of potential. Reach out to a StreetEasy Expert on the listing for more details.

Our final NYC fixer upper might be a studio, but it has plenty of room to work with. An L-shaped layout provides a sleeping alcove, and there’s even a small terrace with city views. In addition, two big closets are enhanced by a separate dressing room adjacent to the bathroom. It’s all 16 floors up, in a doorman co-op building with laundry, bike storage, and parking.
