First up on our NYC open house roundup for August 9 and 10 is this exceptional — and exclusive — Lower East Side condo. A private, keyed elevator leads directly to these delightful digs, which span almost 2,000 square feet. Exposed brick adorns the walls throughout the home, creating a warm and rugged aesthetic that perfectly complements the rustic, oversized range in the kitchen. Pretty peach tiling brightens up one of the newly refinished bathrooms, while the other bathroom boasts a luxurious domed bathtub. And with both a petite balcony off the living room and a 200-square-foot terrace off the back bedroom, there are countless spaces to soak up the sun.

On the opposite corner of Manhattan lies this sweet studio. Dynamic herringbone hardwood flooring and ceiling beams create a timeless vibe in the main living space. The eat-in kitchen is awash in natural light thanks to an oversized window, and has been outfitted with impressive appliances — including a dishwasher! You’re also mere feet from Riverside Park and all the shopping, dining, and entertainment the Upper West Side has to offer. At $395K, this is the most affordable home on our list. Nice!

Taylor Swift popularized this idyllic West Village street, but even if you’re not a Swiftie, you’ll still love this unit. Mint green accent walls look great against the white-washed brick, which stretches all the way to the decorative fireplace in the main room. Treetop views make the sleeping nook extra peaceful, and golden lighting fixtures provide a pop of opulence in every room. Cat-friendly and boasting a shared garden space, 24 Cornelia Street #13 is the perfect starter home. 

We’re headed to Brooklyn to check out this next listing: a spacious 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom located in Brooklyn Heights. A big bay window serves as a sunny focal point in the living room, which contains a massive walk-in closet for all your storage needs. The windowed bedroom has space enough for a bed and multiple furnishings. And did you see the ornate tin ceiling in the kitchen?! Swoon.

Last but certainly not least on our NYC open house roundup for August 9 and 10 is this cute Clinton Hill co-op. The main level consists of an updated bathroom, an open chef’s kitchen, and one sunny bedroom. Head down to the lower level to check out the primary suite, which has stately wooden beams overhead and direct access to the laundry room. But the undeniable crown jewel of this home is the gigantic garden, which can fit a firepit, lounge chairs, and a full-size outdoor dining table.
