A Two-Bedroom, 2.5-Bath Duplex in Murray Hill for $900,000

"The views from the sunken living room and the bedroom (which has three closets) are south-facing and the Brooklyn Museum, Brooklyn Public Library, and Prospect Park are basically right outside. The floors are a lovely blond parquet, and the kitchen has been recently renovated with stainless-steel appliances and quartz countertops. There's a dining alcove just outside the kitchen with a nicely sized foyer as a flex space."

"As for the apartment itself, the interiors are "recently refreshed," per the listing; the open kitchen leads into a dining alcove with custom built-ins. Two closets and a half-bath round out the first level. Upstairs, there are oversize bedrooms (convertible to a three-bed, also per the listing) and a full bath for each. One has a step-through shower, the other a soaking tub. Views throughout the apartment face west, which means nice afternoon light."

Under a million dollars, buyers can find park- and subway-adjacent studios, one-bedrooms in historic buildings, and occasional true two-bedrooms. A surprising bathrooms-to-bedrooms ratio appears in midtown listings.
