5 Fixer-Uppers Ready to Become Your Dream Home

New construction is nice, but some homebuyers prefer to carve out their own customized space. If you fall into that category, StreetEasy has got you covered! Here are 5 of our favorite NYC fixer uppers on the market right now. They’re all in need of a little TLC, but they have big potential. Which one would you transform into your dream home? (Not sure where to get started? Check out our guide to renovating in NYC.)

Price $1,100,000
Space 4 beds, 1.5 baths
Neighborhood Crown Heights
Borough Brooklyn

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.)

Price $539,000
Space 1 bed, 1 bath
Neighborhood Hudson Heights
Borough Manhattan

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.

Price $900,000
Space 2 beds, 2 baths
Neighborhood Chelsea
Borough Manhattan

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.

Price $560,000
Space 1 bed, 1 bath
Neighborhood Lincoln Square
Borough Manhattan

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.

Price $400,000
Space Studio, 1 bath
Neighborhood Kips Bay
Borough Manhattan

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. Reach out to a StreetEasy Expert on the listing to find out more.
