Where do we even begin with this incredible first offering on our list of NYC open houses for April 15 and 16? The rich mahogany moldings seem like a good place. Every single window in this palatial 2-bedroom Park Slope apartment is accented with the ornate dark brown framing, as is the original wood-burning fireplace in the living room. Other noteworthy through-lines include the grand 13-foot ceilings and abundant storage space. A dedicated dining nook makes every meal delightful, while a bonus lofted space provides flexible possibilities for decor and organization; will you use it as a playroom, home office or something else entirely?
Just a few blocks west of our previous listing lies this modern 2-bedroom home. Enter the building’s peaceful, private front garden to access the apartment, which boasts crisp, clean lines and bright rooms. A plethora of ingenious built-ins make the unit extra space-efficient. A desk is tucked away under the living room staircase, a mini-breakfast bar easily seats two in the kitchen, and expansive shelving fits an impressive amount of books and tchotchkes. Perhaps the best use of space lies in the bisected rooftop deck, which spans the entire width of the unit and provides panoramic views of both Brooklyn and Manhattan.
Recent renovations make this 2-bedroom Cobble Hill beauty sparkle extra brightly. The sun-drenched kitchen features gleaming granite surfaces, brand-name appliances and an attractive beadboarding accent on the spacious island. The bathroom is both functional and funky, with its mint-green walls, console sink and gray honeycomb tiling. The airy primary suite has direct access to the unit’s fully-private, two-level back deck. Extra-attentive viewers may have noticed the first-rate light fixtures in the listing photos: The current owner is an architectural lighting designer, ensuring ambiance for days.
We just can’t stay away from Park Slope! This 2-bedroom abode is the perfect mix of classic and contemporary, with its beamed ceilings recalling rustic charm and its kitchen renovations bringing present-day finishes into the mix. Both bedrooms are large enough for king-size beds. And check out that retro frosted glass wall in the bathroom!
We close out our tour of NYC open houses for April 15 and 16 with this classy Greenwich Village 1-bedroom. The only Manhattan offering on our list this week, it boasts an open-concept layout perfect for entertaining guests. A Miele stove and sparkling countertops make the chef’s kitchen extra enviable. The moody, spa-like bathroom is wholly transportive and the generous bedroom provides space and serenity.
