We’re starting our tour of NYC open houses for January 13 and 14 in Brooklyn, where this Carroll Gardens cutie awaits its lucky new owner. Rustic wood-beamed ceilings and matte black iron joints make for a truly unique aesthetic that recalls a charming bohemian cabin. You’ll love the statement wall of exposed brick in the primary bedroom, and the refined black-and-white subway tiling in both bathrooms. The combination living/dining room is the perfect place to relax, thanks to the sunny floor-to-ceiling windows leading out to an idyllic east-facing balcony.

Located in Greenwich Village, this 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom home is a study in soothing neutrals. Pristine white walls work in tandem with black-rimmed exposures in the open living room, while plush beige carpeting in the bedrooms creates an elegant sleeping environment. Storage is a non-issue as a custom bookshelf spans an entire wall in the dining room, and the primary bedroom sports an expansive, bisected walk-in closet. The uber-convenient building is nearly equidistant to both Union Square and Washington Square Park, so you can soak up all that downtown Manhattan has to offer.

Check out this perfect Park Slope pad. The peek-a-boo window makes it easy to admire the unit’s one-of-a-kind kitchen, which boasts frosted glass cabinetry, a deep sink, and gray brick accent walls. Step down into the sunken living room, which is large enough for a sectional couch and multiple furnishings. From there, stately French doors open up to a queen-size bedroom that comes with enviable closet space. 

There are so many artistic design elements to love in this West Village 1-bedroom, it’s impossible to pick our favorite. It could be the funky green and yellow backsplash in the kitchen, or the floral tiling and ornate mirror in the bathroom. Or the intricate crown molding. Or the window dinette in the living room. Like we said, it’s impossible to choose…and fortunately, whoever snags this beauty up for good won’t have to!

We’re headed across town to the East Village for our last featured NYC open house of January 13 and 14. This 2-bedroom residence is especially airy thanks to its 10-foot ceilings, which create room for statement-making lighting fixtures in each room. A Bosch cooktop, Sirius overhead vent, and sleek countertops create an impeccable chef’s kitchen. The petite, periwinkle second bedroom can be converted into a kid’s room, home office, art studio — whatever you need!
