Say hello to the perfectly proportioned prewar 1-bedroom in Lincoln Square! Set in a quaint brownstone close to Central Park, exposed brick, decorative fireplace and hardwoods are its calling cards. A smart remodel delivers a neat kitchen with a dishwasher and breakfast bar, custom-outfitted closets plus a bonus room for a home office. Generous purchasing rules, too.

Loft fans, take your mark! This East Village sensation is minimal to the max! The kitchen is decked in sleek custom cabinets and faces a wall of 10-foot factory windows. Concrete floors, granite counters, a modern bathroom with a huge glass-enclosed shower, central air, dishwasher plus building amenities: Deck, outdoor parking, bike room and laundry on every floor. Pretty special.

The allure of this Williamsburg loft is elemental! Set in a caste-iron building and laden with wood floors, whitewashed brick and steel beams, it runs 933 square feet and opens to a private balcony.

A fitting grand finale for NYC open houses August 6 and 7.
