PROS

CONS
Buyers who expect apartment buildings to come with amenities might be disappointed. There’s no gym, for instance.

MANHATTAN | 140 Fifth Avenue, No. 5A
Flatiron Co-op
$1.95 Million
MANHATTAN 140 Fifth Avenue, No. 5A
A one-bedroom, one-bath, 900-square-foot prewar apartment, with a combined living and dining room, an open kitchen with stainless steel appliances, a washer and dryer, a primary bedroom that has two walls lined with built-out closets, a secondary sleeping area with built-in shelving and a pocket door and 11-foot ceilings in a non-doorman Beaux-Arts elevator building at West 19th Street. Kristi Ambrosetti, Sotheby’s International Realty, 917-763-8504; sothebysrealty.com
Maintenance
$1,896 a month
Pros
The home’s enormous windows take in architecturally-interesting buildings and a dynamic streetscape.
Cons
The sleeping area is too small to be a legal bedroom — in fact, a twin bed barely squeezes in now — though the space could be converted to a den or home office.
