While larger apartments might be in top demand across NYC, there are plenty of show-stopping studios that can rival some 1-bedrooms. This week, we’re eyeing stylish studios asking under $800K packed with exposed brick, duplex loft spaces, and contemporary details beautifully blended with prewar charm. Check them out below, and for more NYC homes for sale, head on over to StreetEasy.

Price $285,000
Space Studio, 1 bath
Neighborhood Yorkville
Borough Manhattan

Packed with prewar charm and a petite price tag, this Yorkville co-op is one to consider. The amply spaced living room offers high ceilings, recessed lights, and a pair of large windows. A thoughtful renovation didn’t disturb the original exposed brick and decorative fireplace found in the living room — though it did usher in new kitchen cabinetry and stainless steel appliances, including a dishwasher. Worth noting: only cash offers are currently being accepted.

Space Studio, 1 bath
Neighborhood Park Slope
Borough Brooklyn

The L-shaped layout, large open spaces, and abundance of natural light give this home a bigger feel. Its period details are that of a classic prewar Park Slope pad, touting original wood floors, elaborate moldings, tin ceilings, and arched entryways. A spacious sleeping alcove has been carved out of the living room area, and the windowed kitchen has been refreshed with modern cabinets and appliances. The bathroom retains a classic design that can either be kept or updated. You also get two modest-sized closets and the option to purchase a storage unit in the building.

Neighborhood Chelsea
Borough Manhattan

Indulge in the beauty of this duplex Chelsea loft where no detail has been overlooked. Warm hardwood floors, an exposed brick wall, and huge picture windows complement the high ceilings and expansive, stylish rooms. The upper-level loft space can make for a large bedroom area, and is accompanied by a sizable storage room. On the lower level, the kitchen is beautifully appointed with warm wood cabinetry and high-end appliances. Ceilings seem to soar in the living and dining room, while a lovely wooden staircase with a wrought-iron railing connects the two floors.

Space Studio, 1 bath
Neighborhood Lincoln Square
Borough Manhattan

This rare prewar brownstone built in circa 1883 is a New York dream come true. The exposed red brick walls shine thanks to the replica copper tin ceiling, which measures an imposing 11 feet high. Other prewar details like marble windowsills add to the charm, but for a modern touch, both the kitchen and bathroom have been updated. A Murphy bed makes great use of space, and the elevated bathroom is accessed via a short wooden staircase. The 10-unit building is ideally located between Columbus Avenue and Broadway just a few blocks from Central Park, Lincoln Center, and Riverside Park.
