An UWS one bedroom with loft space and a shared terrace, for $1 million
If you don’t mind living on the top floor of a brownstone, or paying a premium, there’s a lot to like about this Upper West Side one-bedroom duplex, 335 West 87th St., #PH5. It is listed for $999,000, while the area’s median for a one bedroom is $875,000, according to StreetEasy.
But the apartment, which occupies the entire floor, is also relatively spacious at 1,275 square feet, and has large rooms. There's also a working fireplace, and it comes with an upstairs loft area and a shared terrace. The living/dining area, which appears to accommodate a sofa, loveseat as well as a dining set, gets southern light and overlooks the street.

The black walls, cabinets, and appliances give the kitchen a stark, contemporary look, but a red throw rug warms things up, as does a plant atop the refrigerator, which is a Sub-Zero. There’s also a skylight for added sun.

With dimensions exceeding 17-feet by 15-feet, the bedroom provides plenty of room. It’s located in the back of the building and faces north. There are built-ins all around: a counter that can be used as a workstation, bookshelves, drawers, closets, and storage cabinets. There’s also a through-the-wall air conditioner.

The upstairs loft, reachable via a spiral staircase, has a sink and three skylights (including one over the stairs), which has made it an ideal space as an artist’s studio for the current seller. It could also be a good-sized office space or guest room, or a place for workouts.

Riverside Park is down the block; Central Park is just five blocks away. The 1 train is at the 86th Street station at Broadway.
