We’re starting our NYC open house roundup for August 17 and 18 off strong with this pretty Park Slope pad. Two big arched windows in the living room throw light across the preserved hardwood strip flooring and stately, rough-hewn beamed ceilings. There’s a seamless transition into the open kitchen, which includes an eat-in breakfast island and industrial-chic iron shelving. The bedrooms benefit from the same arched exposures as in the living room; one of them even has storage for days in the form of closets and over-the-bed cabinets.
More attractive arches await you in this historical Stuyvesant Heights brownstone, this time in the form of integrated wall niches. And that’s just the start of the delightful design details in this home: you’ll also find original crown molding, intricate window moldings, restored wood mantles, and wainscoting galore. But don’t think this place is stuck in the past. All four(!) of the home’s bathrooms have all been renovated with only the finest fixtures, such as artful tiling, luxurious freestanding tubs, double vanities, and marble sinks. The house comes with a total of six bedrooms and a sweeping, two-story backyard with deck space.
If modern is more your style, check out this cute and contemporary Clinton Hill condo. Awash in neutral colors, it boasts an impressive 1,200 square feet of space to sprawl out across and customize to your heart’s content. A moody open kitchen gives way to a separate dining nook, and the 2-bedroom/2-bath configuration makes the space perfect for sharing. Beyond the unit itself, the building offers a shared Zen garden, rooftop deck with outdoor kitchen, and fully equipped fitness room.
Our lone Queens offering, this 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom condo in the Rego Park neighborhood has good bones and a sweet, sweet price. The unit comes with a truly massive L-shaped kitchen with funky laminate accents and room enough for a full dining table. Five generous closets provide storage galore, while an en-suite bathroom completes the primary bedroom. And if that’s not enough, all utilities are included in the monthly maintenance fee for extra convenience.
Last but not least on our NYC open house roundup for August 17 and 18 is this darling duplex. Located on the border of Williamsburg and Greenpoint, this ultra-trendy home comes complete with an in-unit washer/dryer and brand-name kitchen appliances. A floating staircase leads to the second floor, which is comprised of a flexible den space plus a sunny bedroom and a private patio. How you use it is up to you — though we’d recommend waking up, kicking back, and sipping a cup of coffee as you contemplate the gorgeous city views.
