Homes for Sale in Brooklyn and Manhattan

Turtle Bay Co-op • $950,000 • MANHATTAN • 235 East 49th Street, No. PHC

A roughly 950-square-foot, two-bedroom, two-bath triplex apartment at the top of a 12-story prewar building with a part-time doorman.

MAINTENANCE $2,364 a month

PROS The bedrooms, each with an en suite bath, are on the top and bottom floors, which provides a welcome buffer for overnight guests. Each floor gets sunny western exposure and there is ample closet space.

CONS With ceilings that peak at just over 8 feet tall and a tight spiral staircase that connects the floors — mind your knees — this is not an ideal space for tall buyers.
