We start our tour of NYC open houses for July 15 and 16 in Clinton Hill, where this 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom condo awaits its lucky new owner. Soothing neutrals are punctuated by large black-rimmed living room exposures, built-in wood shelves in the bathroom and moody marbled backsplash in the kitchen. The bedroom is a sunny sanctuary thanks to four remarkable windows that provide sweet views of the coveted Brooklyn neighborhood. There’s even a bonus space that can be turned into a productive home office, creative craft room, relaxing reading nook or whatever else you might need to make this fantastic and flexible home your own. 

Want the Parisian pad of your dreams without the hassle of having to break out your passport? Look no further than this glamorous Gramercy Park 1-bedroom home. It’s chock-full of elegant design features, such as the ornate wall molding and gleaming marbled bathroom tile. Modern and efficient touches like the Kraus workstation sink with attached cutting board further elevate the space. Plus, a gorgeous sliding barn door leads to a separate dressing room with built-ins fit for a fashionista.

Next up we have a 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom residence that offers the very best of Park Slope living. Spanning two floors, this spacious and sun-drenched home is the optimal entertaining space, with an extra-large dining/living area and lush, private back garden and patio. Two big bedrooms exist on the top floor, with room enough for multiple furnishings. The newly-renovated bottom floor houses the third bedroom and second bathroom, making it feel like its own exclusive suite.

Let’s travel to nearby Brooklyn Heights, where this top-floor unit makes a bold first impression. An extra-long entryway leads to a generous living and dining area, illuminated by an entire wall of west-facing windows. A doorway leads to a separate kitchen, where a deep farmhouse sink, sage green backsplash, and frosted glass cabinets await a fortunate home chef. The home’s only bedroom comes with a deep, floor-to-ceiling closet and an en-suite bathroom.

Our open house roundup for July 15 and 16 concludes with a showstopping 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom shelter in Soho. Its impressive 11-foot ceilings are punctuated by the home’s original embossed tin tiling. But that’s not the only pre-war detail that has been preserved in this magnificent space: ornate crown molding, substantial columns and exposed brick can be found throughout the massive living room and even into the bedrooms. The home boasts many updates as well, the most notable being the retractable steel and glass doors that help separate the flexible, loft-like layout into multiple different alcoves.
