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.

If you can get past the fact that this is a fourth-floor walk-up in a five-story building, the 550 square foot one-bedroom seems like a pretty good deal considering the price, and the fact that it’s just a block away from the High Line.

Located within the Chelsea Historic District, the co-op is part of an eight-unit building built in 1860. The apartment has still managed to hold on to some historic flourishes including the exposed brick and the decorative fireplace.

The apartment also gets a good amount of light courtesy of the two windows in the living room, and one in the bedroom. As per the brokerbabble, the bedroom can accommodate a queen size bed. Where the co-op does lack however (aside from the walk-up aspect) is the shortage of closet space—there are just two tiny closets in the entire apartment.

As for the building, it’s pet friendly, has washers and dryers, and has low maintenance charges.
