| | Photo: Eric Egerton | | Welcome back to the Listings Edit, your Thursday digest of particularly worth-it apartments for rent in New York City. Each week, we carefully sort through hundreds of rentals (across listing sites, newsletters, and Craigslist), keeping an eye out for places that are truly worth their asking price — whether that's an under-$2,000 one-bedroom (that truly is a one-bedroom) or a $7,000 Beaux-Arts townhouse with a spiral staircase and three functioning fireplaces. | On the studio front, we uncovered a Harlem brownstone apartment with a claw-foot tub and moldings in the bathroom, and a huge unit with three windows and a skylight on the Upper East Side. If you're looking for more space, check out this three-bedroom in Bed-Stuy (with birch trees in the backyard) and another one in Park Slope (with a separate dining room). Also notable: a furnished one-bedroom (also in Park Slope) with some really special pieces included in the asking price — including a Saarinen marble tulip table, Vitsoe shelves, and Paul McCobb chairs. | Did someone forward you this email?
