First up on our list of NYC open houses for August 26 and 27 is a home for anyone who likes natural light and impeccable design – aka everyone. This 1-bedroom East Village condo is illuminated from top to bottom thanks to 17-foot ceilings and a full wall of windows in the living space. The first floor contains a modern kitchen and convenient breakfast bar, while the second floor is home to a peaceful bedroom loft with space enough for multiple furnishings and exercise equipment. A private balcony looks out over the bustling streets of Cooper Square, putting you directly in the heart of downtown action. 

Say hello to this Hell’s Kitchen cutie. Pristine exposed brick walls add a refined touch to both the living area and the bedroom. The open kitchen is both sleek and space-efficient. And yes, that’s a working wood-burning fireplace! But the best part? With an asking price of just under $600k, this home is a sponsor sale with no board approval required. It’s a no-brainer in our book.

What’s not to love about this luxury Lincoln Square 1-bedroom, 1.5-bathroom home? Brand-name appliances fill out the sunny and spacious kitchen nook. Double vanities and a large soaking tub in the main bathroom rival that of any high-end day spa. But it’s the unbelievable amenities of One West End that will surely sell you on the space. The building offers a top-of-the-line fitness center, a 75-foot swimming pool under a protective atrium, and a 12,000-foot terrace with cabanas reminiscent of any five-star resort. Enjoy endless vacation vibes from the comfort of your own home!

Here’s another affordable abode, this time located in Carnegie Hill. Enter the home via the foyer punctuated by a soothing, rustic wood-paneled wall. Then find your way into the extra long and light-filled living area, which provides a flexible space for endless furniture combinations. The home’s sole bedroom is sizable and the kitchen looks like something straight out of the city’s finest restaurants. Bonus: an integrated A/C system keeps the entire unit cool and comfortable.
