The sun shines bright in this contemporary 2-bedroom condo in Queens’ Sunnyside enclave. Featuring 872 square feet of space, the home is appointed with high ceilings, oak wood floors, recessed lighting, and two bathrooms. The living room grants access to a small balcony, while the kitchen is sleek and modern with two-tone white lacquer and oak wood cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, a breakfast bar, and gold Calacatta quartz countertops and backsplash. The primary bedroom is an en-suite that offers floor-to-ceiling windows with skyline views and two large closets. Both bathrooms also include radiant heated flooring. An in-unit washer/dryer plus central heating and air conditioning give an added layer of convenience and comfort.
With a sunken living room, high ceilings, and a private balcony, there’s a sense of airiness in this Greenwich Village abode that almost makes you forget it’s a studio. The eat-in kitchen is situated near the front door and outfitted with stainless steel appliances, warm wood cabinetry, generous counterspace, and a breakfast bar that overlooks the living area. The living room has enough space to carve out a small sleeping nook, and its large windows and glass balcony door create an indoor-outdoor transition. There’s a large closet on hand, and the apartment is just a half block from Washington Square Park.
There’s a quirky shape to this thoughtfully designed 1-bedroom in Prospect Park, but it works beautifully. The L-shaped living room is highlighted by herringbone wood floors, floor-to-ceiling windows, and a sitting nook that gives the space a degree of coziness. The kitchen is small but functional with granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, white cabinetry, and a breakfast bar. The bedroom is proportioned well and on a slight angle, as is the private balcony just outside the living room. Marble finishes, radiant heated floors, a soaking tub, a custom vanity in the bathroom, and a washer/dryer can be found elsewhere in the home.
Living in Manhattan’s historic Seaport is inherently special, and this rare three-level loft makes it all the more so. The main level hosts the open kitchen, living room, and a full bathroom. Here you’ll find exposed white brick walls, pale wood floors, and a redesigned kitchen with a brush metal island that complements the high-end stainless steel appliances. A spiral staircase leads to the upper level that houses the spacious bedroom loft, while another staircase leads to the lower level hosting the second bedroom. There’s more than 900 square feet of space, plus a wood-burning fireplace and five closets throughout.
This 2-bedroom abode in Brooklyn Heights combines timeless charm with modern accessories.

French doors and built-in storage add to the prewar elegance, while central air conditioning and in-unit laundry make things convenient. The primary bedroom offers a decent amount of space and a large closet, while the second room is sized for a nursery, guest room, or home office.
