A One-Bedroom in a Gilded Age Mansion (With a Working Fireplace) for $910,000

"A one-bedroom in the neo-Federal mansion that J.P. Morgan purchased in 1918 for his newly married daughter and her husband (and, reportedly, "to preserve the residential character" of the neighborhood). The home was converted into apartments in 1951 but retained some of the original grandeur that probably wooed the Morgan clan, too (high ceilings and a wood-burning fireplace, in particular)."

"This studio is in the former P.S. 9 Annex, a landmarked Romanesque Revival building with intricate cornices and façade work. The apartment itself was converted from a former classroom and comes with cathedral ceilings and massive windows to match. There's a loft set up for the sleeping area, although a spacious one - 21 feet long, per the listing."

The real estate market under one million dollars provides various housing options including studios, one-bedrooms, and occasional two-bedrooms in desirable locations near parks and subway access. Featured listings showcase particularly spacious or well-renovated apartments worth consideration. A one-bedroom in Murray Hill occupies a neo-Federal mansion purchased by J.P. Morgan in 1918, retaining original grandeur with high ceilings and wood-burning fireplace, offering a large foyer usable as study space and open kitchen-living area with hardwood floors. A studio in Prospect Heights converts a former classroom in a landmarked Romanesque Revival building, featuring cathedral ceilings, massive windows, and a 21-foot loft sleeping area with adequate living and dining space.
