August — and summer — has almost come to an end. And while we’re getting ready for cooler weather here in New York City, the real estate continues to be hot, hot, hot. Case in point: This weekend’s open house roundup. All five homes for sale are located in Manhattan, from delectable downtown digs to unique uptown offerings. But if another borough is more your speed, never fear. There are plenty more available listings with upcoming open houses on StreetEasy.
First up on our NYC open house roundup for August 30 and 31 is a 1-bedroom, 1.5 bathroom apartment located on the Upper West Side. Wainscoting, ceiling beams, and a fabulous fireplace focal point make the oversized living area extra welcoming. In the kitchen, a deep farmhouse sink is nestled among a plethora of pretty periwinkle cabinets. More inspired paint choices await you in the home’s one bedroom, which is illuminated by three large exposures. And how about that en-suite bathroom?! We can’t get enough of the deep soaking tub or the chic black-and-white tiling.
Here’s another 1-bedroom home, this time located in Kips Bay. A loft-like layout spans two floors, creating an extraordinary sense of depth. White oak plank flooring underfoot creates the perfect foundation for any design aesthetic. A spectacular spiral staircase leads up to the sizable bedroom, which benefits from a custom Elfa walk-in closet system. Other notable features include a recently renovated bathroom with Toto toilet and tub, plus a quintessentially NYC fire escape.
If you’re looking to spread out, this one’s for you! This gorgeous Gramercy Park triplex spans a remarkable 2,098 square-feet and offers a minimum of three bedrooms, with an option to turn the den into a fourth room if you need the space. This flexible floor plan is inclusive of a stunning living/dining room that stays sunny thanks to its double-height windows. Recessed lighting shines brightly throughout, and individual HVAC units in each room ensure comfort no matter the season. The building amenities are almost too numerous to mention, but we’ll try anyway: 24-hour concierge, top-of-the-line fitness center, on-site valet, a rooftop terrace, and more.
We think this Lenox Hill looker would make a lovely starter home. Gleaming mosaic hardwood and sparkling white paint provides the perfect canvas for both minimalist and maximalist styles. Abundant closets and a generous built-in shelf guarantees that storage is a non-issue, while modern touches like motorized blinds ensure convenience and customization. And — bonus — cats and dogs are allowed!
Last up on our NYC open house round up for August 30 and 31 is this beautiful Beekman (east of Midtown East) 2-bedroom. Located on a cul-de-sac (a true New York City rarity!), this home provides endless peace and privacy. Inside, crisp wainscoting creates an elegant throughline. The living room boasts enough space for a sectional couch and a full-size piano, as shown in the listing photos. Both bedrooms are sunny and spacious — the primary even comes with an en-suite bathroom outfitted with a stunning stone shower. Wow!
