Winter is coming. While some of you might be excited by the myriad of available seasonal NYC activities, we know that many others might feel sad to welcome colder temperatures. For those in the latter camp, we’ve rounded up five New York City homes with fireplaces under $800K to help you stay toasty over the coming months. These warm, wondrous lodgings span different boroughs and price points. But if none of these light your fire, there’s plenty more available listings on StreetEasy.
We’re starting our tour of NYC homes featuring fireplaces with this 1-bedroom co-op in Lincoln Square. Snuggle up in front of the working hearth, which is nestled among an entire wall of exposed brick in the spacious living room. The aesthetically pleasing details continue with groovy retro cabinetry in the open kitchen. More brick awaits you in the bedroom, which welcomes light from an oversized window with tree-top neighborhood views. $575K gets you all of this, plus access to a private terrace spanning the entire length of the unit.
This corner apartment on the Upper East Side feels more like a cozy chalet than an urban pad. Boasting 1 bedroom and a $749K price tag, this home is bright and inviting thanks to four generous exposures across the main living areas. Don’t miss the darling details in the kitchen such as a built-in corner cookbook shelf and cute cabinet cut-outs. And of course we’ve got to talk about 2 — yes, 2! — working fireplaces: One is enveloped in white brick in the living room, while the other is set in a more traditional brick in the bedroom.
Charming doesn’t even begin to cover it when describing this Jackson Heights 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom abode. Intricate mosaic hardwood covers the floors and complements the high ceilings throughout. This $749K home is located in the historic Elm Court, which was mindfully designed with just two apartments on each floor, maximizing privacy and peace. The 1922 neo-Georgian charm is best seen in the unit’s working fireplace, which is encased in an ornate wood and marble mantle.
This cutie Upper West Side starter home comes complete with beamed ceilings and a large picture-window. A fireplace in a classic black and white motif provides the perfect focal point in the living room. While this hearth is technically decorative, it still emits heat via electricity. And at just $495K, this home is the most affordable on this list. Nice!
Last up on our list of NYC homes featuring fireplaces is this $630K townhouse with windows for days and a shared backyard. Located in bustling Hell’s Kitchen, this home is ultra-convenient for theater lovers. But if you want to talk about drama, turn your attention to the fireplace: Made up of dual black and beige carved marble, it’s the perfect place to gather with loved ones on cold winter nights.
