This East Village one-bedroom, one-bath co-op, 327 East Third St., 4B, offers lots of quirky charm and a great price for the area. Listed for $582,000 with a low maintenance of $268, the apartment is a great deal, if you qualify. (It's an HDFC co-op, with income restrictions for buyers.) There's one potential drawback: It's on the fourth floor of a six-floor building, and there's no elevator. 

The bright apartment features a large open living area with exposed brick and space for a dining table. There are high ceilings, wood panels, and wide-plank wood floors.

The kitchen has two windows and a washer/dryer. The layout is currently configured with two "sleeping areas" that appear too small to be considered legal, separate bedrooms.
