Temperatures are high once again, and if your apartment feels too hot to handle, it might be worth checking out some new options. Numerous open houses are happening this weekend, but here are a few we’ve singled out. They include a huge Flatiron loft, a Jackson Heights 2-bedroom with a garden view, and a Chelsea 1-bedroom with a pool in the building. These are just a starting point, though — you can find many more on StreetEasy.
This recently renovated West Chelsea 1-bedroom is full of natural light — and personality. The living room has two casement windows that allow great light into the 16th-floor apartment. A built-in niche with glass shelving is perfect for a bar area, and there’s room to create a dining space. The chic kitchen has custom cabinets, a marble island, a designer range from Bertazzoni, a Liebherr refrigerator, and a Miele dishwasher. The redone bathroom has green and cream tiling as well as marble floors. Just in time for the heat, the doorman building has a pool(!!!) and private gardens.
Over in Lenox Hill, this elegant 1-bedroom has large windows and wide-oak heated floors. Beautiful French doors connect the living area to the bedroom, creating a sunny and airy environment. The sleek kitchen has custom cabinets, an island, quartz countertops, a dishwasher, and a garbage disposal — an NYC rarity. Similarly outfitted, the bathroom has Porcelanosa tile and a marble-style floor that is also heated. For even more convenience, the unit has a washing machine and dryer, while the building offers a doorman, fitness center, lounge, and terrace.
In Jackson Heights, this 2-bedroom has been restored without losing its prewar details like high ceilings, wood moldings, oak-striped floors, walnut floors, and coved ceilings in some rooms. The living room, set off the spacious foyer, leads into the formal dining room. In the kitchen you’ll find stone counters, black-and-white tile flooring, and a pantry — another rare find in the city. Located in the in the Jackson Heights Historic District, the building is known for its verdant garden, which the second bedroom faces.
If you’re looking for the quintessential loft, check out this Flatiron apartment. Sprawling at 1,400 square feet, the home has all the period details you could dream of, including columns, oak floors, huge windows in three directions, and barrel-vaulted ceilings that hit 11 feet. The prewar building, constructed as a printing press in 1902, now has modern touches like a key-locked elevator, a virtual doorman, a laundry room, and bike storage.
Here’s another stunning loft, this time in Chinatown, with two bedrooms and two bathrooms. The space benefits from amazing light through east and west exposures. Both the kitchen and bathroom have high-end features, like marble backsplash and soft-close cabinetry in the kitchen and bamboo vanities and Duravit fixtures in the bathroom. But by far the most show-stopping feature is the gorgeous private terrace, which is set right off the living room and stretches 650 square feet.
