You already know what time it is: New York City open house round-up! This weekend, we’re spreading love the Brooklyn way. Each of these listings emphasizes the classic artistry and architecture of the borough. Think original crown molding, impossibly lofty ceilings, and flawless brownstone buildings. We’re confident at least one of these will pique your interest, but if not, StreetEasy can help you find many more open houses across the city this weekend. Go ahead — it’s okay to look!
We’re starting our tour of NYC open houses for April 22 and 23 off strong with this jaw-dropping 4-floor, 7-bedroom brownstone in Park Slope. This massive residence boasts elegant design around every corner: we’re talking moody floral wallpaper, warm paint hues, gorgeous built-ins and stained-glass skylights. While the home’s history has been preserved in its bay window woodwork and 6(!) marble mantles, it’s been outfitted with central air and bathroom renovations for a seamless conversion to contemporary living. Whether you move in with your entire extended family or lease the garden apartment to tenants, the possibilities for this unique home are truly endless.
This 2-bedroom Brooklyn Heights home is the definition of spotless. Its living room is made up of clean, crisp lines that direct the eye to a timeless white-washed brick fireplace. The newly renovated kitchen features gleaming cabinetry, a chic marble backsplash and matching eat-in counter. And the best part: the layout is flexible. Use the designated dining room as a gathering space for meals, or easily convert it into a third bedroom or office space.
We’re headed back to Park Slope to check out this charming 1-bedroom, garden-level apartment. A gorgeously updated kitchen opens up to the living room, punctuated by an ornate wood mantle and generous windows. More sunny exposures can be found in the bedroom, which is sizable enough for a king bed and multiple furnishings. And just when you think this home can’t get any more idyllic, a private, south-facing garden proves you wrong. It’s the perfect spot for entertaining friends or enjoying a quiet solo moment at sunset.
Here’s another Park Slope gem: a sun-drenched, top-floor, 1-bedroom unit with views for days. Stunning vintage details abound throughout, from the Instagram-worthy retro curved tub to the original parquet wood flooring. Don’t forget to take advantage of the gardening space provided on the private roof deck. Harvest some veggies and herbs to cook up in the well-equipped galley kitchen, then enjoy your meal in the unit’s sweet dining nook.
Our last featured open house for April 22 and 23 is located in — you guessed it! — Park Slope. This 1-bedroom condo is as sunny as it is space-efficient. Set behind adorable sliding French doors, the queen-size bedroom benefits from ample closet space. And can we hear a little commotion for the ceiling, which features original tin inlays?!
