Small upgrades shine in this $650,000 Prospect Heights pad

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.

Some ace staging and small improvements make this Prospect Heights one-bedroom look like a relative steal. On the market for $650,000, the pre-war apartment comes with attractive, if not base upgrades like minimalist built-in shelving in the living area and stainless steel appliances and updated upper cabinets in the kitchen. The upper cabinets and their under-mount lighting do wonders for the small kitchen, where an older countertop is hardly the center of attention.

The apartment’s bathroom is classic and appears near-original to the 1940 building at 20 Plaza Street East, on the far end of Grand Army Plaza to Prospect Park. The bedroom is spacious, and can fit a king sized bed alongside additional furniture. The room’s dual exposures provide nice light, despite the apartment looking into other apartment windows.

The property last sold for $449,000 in 2008.
