A pre-war brick fireplace, south-facing courtyard light, and a thorough renovation — Apartment 4E makes a strong case that 408 square feet is more than enough.

The living area is bright and open, anchored by the original decorative brick fireplace and flooded with southern light through courtyard-facing windows. New wide-plank blonde oak floors and eight-foot ceilings with crisp white walls give the space an easy, airy quality that punches above its square footage.

Storage is a genuine strength of this layout. The entry foyer offers two closets side by side, with a third off the bathroom hallway — unusually well-served for a studio of this size.
