Built in 1870, a Brooklyn Heights One-Bedroom Asks $945,000

A one-bedroom in a Brooklyn Heights building that dates to 1870 is on the market with an asking price of $945,000. It has two features you don't often find together in a one-bedroom: light comes in through the ceiling, and there is a working hearth for the colder months. A building from 1870 is old even for one of New York's oldest neighborhoods, and the age is a large part of the appeal. The figure is an asking price, not a sale. This publication reports what a home sold for only once that number is on the record. Across the river in Manhattan, a second one-bedroom is also listed, on the Upper West Side, in a co-op designed by Emery Roth that faces Central Park. Roth's name is reason enough to look at any building that carries it. Two one-bedrooms, one in each borough, show that a smaller home can still come with real architecture.
