this is what 1 Million Dollars buys you in New York City one of the most frequent
[6]
questions I get asked in this series is to showcase more realistic and
[11]
affordable luxury places in the city in this series we have toured some of the
[15]
most expensive real estate in the United States I'm talking properties that are
[19]
out of reach for even the 1% in this video sponsored by Best Buy I'm going to
[25]
take you on a tour of what you can buy for $1,000,000 in New York City the
[33]
average price for a home in America is just around $200,000 while here in
[38]
Manhattan the median price for a one-bedroom apartment recently reached
[42]
near 1 million dollars so while this is expensive for the majority of the
[48]
country here in Manhattan 1 million dollars is this close to
[51]
realistic as you can get for buying an apartment we're walking up to the
[55]
apartment now which is located on the border of Murray Hill and Midtown this
[60]
neighborhood is definitely one of the more affordable in New York City there's
[63]
tons of families that live here it's relatively quiet but on the other hand
[70]
entranceway and were actually to take the stairs up to the apartment because
[74]
this building does not have an elevator this apartment was actually built in the
[78]
1920s and most apartments from this air do not have elevators and luckily for me
[84]
today this apartment is on the top floor I actually can go in it and another
[91]
thing this apartment does not have is a doorman and that's something you won't
[99]
have a large open floor plan with 11 foot tall ceilings and that
[103]
classic New York City exposed red brick like I said earlier this building is an
[108]
older building you definitely get that New York City Heritage feel when you
[114]
kitchen and now this is a pretty great sized kitchen for a New York City
[118]
apartment it's also important to note that this kitchen was recently gut
[122]
renovated and it has all brand-new stainless steel appliances especially in
[127]
this price range renovations are one way to definitely increase the value of your
[130]
apartment if you're looking to sell it in the near future and I have to say one
[134]
of the most unique things about this kitchen is having a dishwasher built-in
[138]
if you live in the city and you live in an older building you know having a
[141]
dishwasher that is that's considered luxury in New York City moving on from
[146]
the kitchen we're gonna head over to the living room and dining room which takes
[150]
up the majority of the space on the first floor as you can see this
[154]
apartment is one giant open floor plan but it's segmented out by the furniture
[159]
to carve out different areas in such a larger room here we have the traditional
[163]
living room layout with this large leather couch up against the wall
[167]
coffee table right in front and the couch face is one of the more unique
[170]
features of this apartment a working wood burning fireplace with these older
[176]
buildings you might have to do a little bit more work as far as renovations go
[179]
but you can't replace that classic New York charm this is authentic New York
[183]
City living and then of course above the fireplace we have a large TV perfect for
[188]
entertaining your guests the total square footage on this first floor is
[192]
just about 500 square feet as you know living in the city every square foot
[196]
counts and this apartment does a fantastic job utilizing the space for
[201]
many different areas another example of saving space in this apartment we have
[205]
these custom cabinets here against the wall right off of these cabinets we have
[209]
the bathroom this bathroom is still under renovation recently there was a
[213]
glass shower put in a brand new tiling we also have a washer and dryer built
[218]
into the bathroom most apartments you have to either go downstairs to a
[222]
basement to do your wash or send it out somewhere in the city
[225]
having your laundry right here in your home it's pretty awesome speaking from
[229]
an architectural standpoint having a spiral staircase in your apartment is a
[233]
very space efficient way to get to the second floor they take up less space in
[237]
a traditional staircase and I think they look pretty cool and the staircase goes
[242]
up to the second floor master bedroom the master bedroom is just about 300
[247]
square feet and that's pretty large for any apartment in the city when you do
[251]
buy an apartment in this budget range it's very rare to have two stories in
[255]
your apartment again speaking of space the master bedroom has this custom
[259]
closet with these two very large sliding barn doors I think it's a nice touch and
[264]
then over here in the corner we actually have a space-saving treadmill which
[268]
folds up when it's not in use having outdoor space in New York no
[274]
matter what type of apartment you are living in is definitely a luxury
[277]
especially if you have a view like this one behind me it definitely adds a
[281]
certain ambiance you can come out here at night have dinner with friends it is
[285]
a decent sized outdoor space it's just about 150 square feet most people in the
[290]
city would be thrilled to have any outdoor space at all but check this out
[295]
this apartment has not Juana but two rooftop decks to have a one-bedroom
[302]
apartment especially at this price and have two outdoor spaces that's kind of
[307]
unheard of in New York City up on this second rooftop deck we have an
[310]
additional 300 square feet of outdoor space everything that we've shown you
[316]
for 1 million dollars it's pretty rare find this is definitely a gem in the
[320]
city with all this extra rooftop space we also have the ring hammer out here
[324]
which is a great way to keep an eye on guests his furniture while he's in the
[328]
living room or elsewhere it livestreams video to his phone 24/7 with all this
[333]
rooftop space there's more than one way to access this apartment the ring
[337]
security system it really ties everything together with the doorbell
[340]
the camera to make a great gift and it's available at Best Buy it is the perfect
