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.

According to PropertyShark, the median price for a home in Chelsea—at least for the first quarter of 2019—is a whopping $1.2 million, which is just about double the price of this small, but cute, one-bedroom on West 22nd Street. The apartment, which has one bathroom and a nice, new kitchen, is asking $599,000.

The apartment is pretty tiny—it’s around or less than 400 square feet—but thanks to a recent refresh, it doesn’t feel extremely small. There’s a brand new kitchen with a dishwasher, marble backsplash, and butcher block counters; the bathroom was similarly upgraded with new tile. The foyer has built-in shelving, and exposed brick and wood ceilings in the bedroom lend some character.

While the bedroom and living room aren’t huge, they’d be workable for one person or a couple looking for a starter apartment. That’s especially true if location is a big factor: The place is located on West 22nd Street between Seventh and Eighth avenues, in what is basically the heart of Chelsea.

This cute, cozy co-op is listed with Compass’s Michael Pearson for $599,000. Maintenance comes in at $1,019.92/month.
