Bright and tidy Fort Greene studio seeks $459,000

Welcome back to The Six-Digit Club, in which we take a look at a newish-to-market listing priced under $1 million, because nice things sometimes come in small packages. Send nominations to the tipline.

If you can get a great apartment in Manhattan for less than $500,000, chances are you can do the same in Brooklyn—and this light-filled Fort Greene studio is here to prove it. On the market for $459,000, the ninth-floor co-op is simple yet refined in style, and as its listing notes, “more like a condo than a co-op with its friendly owner building rules.”

In the prewar building at 101 Lafayette Avenue, at the corner of South Portland Avenue, the apartment comes with hardwood floors, coffered ceilings, two walk-in closets, and leaded windows. It’s also kitted out with a built-in Murphy bed and an updated kitchen with stainless steel appliances and butcher block countertops.

Maintenance runs $496/month.
