NYC Open Houses August 6 and 7

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.

We head to Midtown South for our next NYC open house for August 6 and 7. It’s a penthouse duplex with spiral stairs leading to a landscaped private terrace for under $600K. In other words: Rare! At 626 square feet with a separate kitchen, the studio boasts a dining area, hardwoods, a working fireplace and a fabulous Fifth Avenue location between Bryant Park and the Empire State Building.

We head back to the East Village for our next NYC open house for August 6 and 7. This soothing 1-bedroom offers garden views and an ample floor plan. The open kitchen features white glass-front cabinets and a dishwasher. There’s a king-size bedroom, a stone-tiled bathroom and a walk-in closet. Walk to Tompkins Park, shops and restaurants across Delancey Street at Essex Crossing.

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. Fresh air! There’s a bright galley kitchen with dishwasher, central air and access to the building’s laundry facilities and roof deck. Under $1M avoids the Mansion Tax. A fitting grand finale for NYC open houses August 6 and 7.
