First up on our NYC open house roundup for December 7 and 8 is this pretty Park Slope condo just a block from Prospect Park. Three gigantic exposures allow light into the combination living/dining room, all the way from the bleached mosaic hardwood to the very tippy top of the 11-foot ceilings. The attached kitchen boasts gorgeous wood cabinetry and sleek, space-efficient appliances. Add an island, as shown in the listing photos, to maximize meal prep. Both bedrooms come with abundant closet space, with the primary even boasting a built-in desk nook. And with low monthlies and roof rights, this home is no-brainer!
Here’s another 2-bedroom abode with convenient access to green space. This lovely Lenox Hill co-op is situated less than two blocks from Central Park and is housed in a pet-friendly building with preserved pre-war details. The unit itself has similar historic charm coupled with modern upgrades, like a Bertazzoni range in the kitchen. A long hallway provides space galore for decorating and leads to the unit’s two windowed bedrooms. The colossal living space benefits from plank flooring and 12-foot ceilings. And how about that original fireplace?! While it’s technically decorative, its warm wood and tantalizing tiles create the perfect cozy atmosphere to gather around with loved ones this winter.
Delight your senses in this distinguished Upper West Side co-op with a semi-private roof terrace. As soon as you walk through the front door you’re greeted with rich wood beams that punctuate the high ceilings in the massive living and dining room. From here, there’s seamless flow into the generous kitchen with a built-in wine fridge and granite-top island. The bedrooms are situated on the other side of the sweeping floor plan. Walk through a door with sweet stained glass details to access the king-size primary suite, complete with a walk-in closet and CitiQuiet windows. Both bathrooms provide spa-like bathing experiences in two distinct aesthetics, one a soothing neutral sanctuary and the other a punchy palace made of funky blue tile.
Check out this cute and contemporary Clinton Hill condo. Step out of your exclusive keyed elevator directly into the sparkling sunlight, coming from a corner of floor-to-ceiling windows in the living area. The open-concept layout creates the ideal conditions for a dinner party. Imagine yourself cooking in the renovated chef’s kitchen while conversing with guests seated at the gorgeous waterfall island. The smaller bedroom of the two comes equipped with an Italian-imported Murphy bed for maximum flexibility. And we’ve got just three words for you: Heated. Bathroom. Floors.
Last but not least on our NYC open house roundup for December 7 and 8 is this great Greenwich Village 1-bedroom that’s inexplicably still on the market. Standout details include the tumbled marble in the bathroom, recessed lighting in the common area, and full wall of closets in the bedroom. And with exposed brick walls and gleaming hardwood, it doesn’t get more quintessentially New York than this!
