First up on our NYC open house roundup for August 3 and 4 is this stunning and special home in Washington Heights. Well preserved details such as an original wooden banister and sunny skylights imbue this home with endless character and charm. Modern upgrades like brand new appliances and vented laundry machines exist alongside the landmark details. Both the renovated chef’s kitchen and darling, dedicated dining area benefit from exposed wood beams, making you feel like you’re relaxing in a country home and not in the middle of the city. History buffs, take note: 11 Sylvan Terrace was temporarily occupied by George Washington during the Revolutionary War. Wow!
This funky Upper West Side triplex boasts classic, covetable NYC features across multiple floors. A wall of exposed brick provides a notable focal point in the living room and emphasizes the soaring ceiling height. Built-in shelving makes storage and decor a breeze. And don’t even get us started on the sweet bedroom nook, singularly located on the unit’s top floor for optimal privacy and peace. With a motivated seller offering a $500/month credit for the first year, this home is a no-brainer.
We love this clean and contemporary cutie in Turtle Bay! A wall of oversized exposures in the open living/dining space illuminates the gleaming dark hardwood and crisp white walls. Flexibility abounds, as the second bedroom can be used as an office, home gym, nursery — whatever you need! The L-shaped kitchen comes with a fun herringbone tile backsplash, and the primary bathroom is outfitted with large charcoal tiling around a deep soaking tub. Just imagine yourself relaxing in this spa-like space after a long day!
Here’s another hypnotizing historic home, this time located in Carnegie Hill. With an official receiving room plus a living area separate from the formal dining room, this home is perfect for entertaining guests. Your visitors will marvel at the multiple ornate mantles and polished crown molding throughout the home. Boasting three bedrooms and two bathrooms, this magnificent home is fit for a crowd, not to mention just one avenue away from Central Park.
Last up on our NYC open house roundup for August 3 and 4 is this garden-level apartment in Clinton Hill. A curved, windowed dining nook provides an idyllic space for morning coffee or evening meals with loved ones. The cozy kitchen benefits from a brand new dishwasher and fun pops of green paint. The bedroom is extremely generous, with space enough for a king bed and multiple furnishings. Don’t miss out on the chance to snag a special piece of a 1982 brownstone for just $625K!
