We’re starting our NYC open house roundup for December 14 and 15 off strong with this fantastic Fort Greene 1-bedroom. It’s easy to see why this immaculately designed home was featured in Brownstoner Magazine. The walls are awash in soothing sage green paint and punctuated by refined crown molding, plus recessed lighting installed at the top of the 12-foot ceilings. The combination living/dining room is lit up by extra tall glass doors that lead directly out to your private 200-square-foot terrace. We’re talking Fort Greene Park views, people! The oversized bedroom boasts exposed brick walls and a gorgeous marble fireplace, and there’s even a lofted room up a spectacular spiral staircase. Wow!
We love this West Chelsea wonder. As an alcove studio, it’s got a space-maximizing open floor plan that creates seemingly endless furniture configurations. What’s more, the polished hardwood floor underfoot and the elegant ceiling beams overhead are sure to complement any style. The bedroom space sits behind a wall of convenient built-in shelves that make storage a breeze. Fashionistas will love the dedicated dressing area and closet space right off the renovated bathroom. With all utilities included in the maintenance fees, and countless building amenities like an indoor pool and sauna, this home is a no-brainer.
Here’s another affordable studio, this time located on the Lower East Side. A slanted beamed roof leads the eye down to the massive, wood-trimmed window that throws sunlight into the main room. The fully open kitchen has been designed in a chic monochrome style, with a sleek black refrigerator and hooded range set against brilliant white cabinets. Other standout features include an extra long gallery hallway and in-unit washer/dryer. And how about that clawfoot tub in the bathroom?!
This sunny and spacious studio is an absolute stunner. Historic charm has been preserved via the dark, parquet wood floors and remarkable mantle, while a fully renovated kitchen and breakfast bar brings the home firmly into the 21st century. There’s a raised platform in front of a gigantic corner of windows, which could serve as a great spot for your bed or dining table — the possibilities are endless! The unit also comes with not one but two walk-in closets, plus an impressive amount of built-in shelving that can help you save on furniture. Located in exclusive Gramercy, this home is close to major subway lines, fine dining, and shopping.
Last but certainly not least on our NYC open house roundup for December 14 and 15 is this lovely Lenox Hill 3-bedroom, 3-bath abode. The home offers ample privacy and noise control between the bedrooms, as all three are situated across the massive floor plan. You’ll be more than ready for winter with the working wood fireplace in the main living room. The kitchen is a home chef’s dream, with a deep pantry and sweeping countertop for meal prep and casual eating. Plus, the building is pet-friendly. Need we say more?
