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.

On the Upper East Side, a one-bedroom, 1.5 bathroom duplex on East 78th Street, between York and First avenues, has hit the market asking $699,000. While that asking amount isn’t exactly cheap, it’s not terrible either, considering it’s the Upper East Side we’re talking about. Let’s take a look at what it offers.

The co-op spans 700 square feet with a layout that gives way to a lower level with a foyer, living room, a slightly dated kitchenette, and a half-bathroom, while the upper level accommodates the bedroom, a full bathroom, and a large closet. There are exposed brick walls, hardwood floors, and nine-foot ceilings throughout the apartment, while a few tall windows allow for some natural light.

Three large closets create decent storage space and the listing description notes that the apartment includes a balcony and a private backyard (though it isn’t pictured on the floorplan, so make of that what you wish).

Monthly maintenance is an even $1,100/month.
