The cherry blossoms are blooming and New York has never looked better, making it a great time to head to the many open houses happening this weekend and find your perfect home. Just to give you a sense of things, here are two that caught our eye: a Park Slope 1-bedroom in Brooklyn’s famous Chiclet Mansion with high ceilings and gorgeous casement windows (not to mention a truly impressive California Closet), and a Turtle Bay home with restored moldings and a wood-burning fireplace filled with charm. This is just the start — find even more gems on Streeteasy.

Neighborhood Park Slope
Borough Brooklyn

115 8th Avenue is an address with quite the historical pedigree. Known as the Chiclet Mansion, it was built by noted architect C. P. H. Gilbert in 1888 for Thomas Adams Jr., who founded the Chiclet chewing gum brand, in the Richardsonian Romanesque style. The building was later turned into 12 apartments, and this 1-bedroom has enormous charm. The ceilings are over 10 feet high, while the living room has exposed brick and striking half-moon casement windows. Original hardwood floors abound throughout, and the cute kitchen has granite countertops and great cabinet storage. The bedroom has its own decorative fireplace, plus a California Closet that extends across a full wall.
