This week brought us the summer solstice, AKA the longest day of the year. Here at StreetEasy, we’re celebrating the fact that more available hours of daylight means more available hours of browsing breathtaking New York City real estate. So what are you waiting for? Take a look at our meticulously hand-selected list of Manhattan and Brooklyn abodes below, and find even more available houses for sale on StreetEasy.
Our first featured NYC home for June 24 and 25 is guaranteed to knock your socks off. Boasting an unbelievable 5,925 square feet and a whopping 8 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms total, this historic South Harlem mansion is truly one-of-a-kind. Grandiose fireplace mantles, elaborate wood-paneled window treatments, refined wall molding, antique chandeliers, a custom spiral staircase – there are almost too many architectural marvels to name! While admittedly asking a hefty price, you’d have the potential to earn big rental income from the unit’s 3 separate apartments located on the 4th and 5th floors.
The historic hullabaloo continues with this pretty, pristine Brooklyn Heights 1-bedroom. Located in a 19th-century brownstone, this home features a renovated kitchen with a convenient breakfast nook. The marbled fireplace provides a finessed focal point in the living room, and the closet in the bedroom doubles as a sweet full-length mirror. The cherry on top of this designer sundae is the private outdoor terrace which spans the entire width of the home. Spend your NYC summer lounging beneath the sun and admiring your sweeping skyline views.
Like natural sunlight and outdoor space? Do we have the home for you! This Clinton Hill co-op boasts a flexible layout, with the option of stretching out across the entire bedroom or converting the space into two separate (but still sizeable!) quarters. Quaint, quirky built-ins make the foyer extra welcoming, and multiple exposures flood every room with light. The home comes with access to two separate communal garden spaces and is walking distance from luscious Fort Greene park.
This 2-bedroom pre-war charmer is the picture of Park Slope elegance. Standout details include refined wall moldings, lavish ceiling medallions, and shiny hardwood floors. The sheer space provided in the primary suite is illuminated by its gorgeous, oversized bay windows. Right off the primary sits a separate mini room, which can be used as a home office, art studio, nursery – the possibilities are endless. Add a newly updated kitchen and views for days, and you’ve got yourself a winner!
Our last featured NYC open house for June 24 and 25 is this sweet Brooklyn Heights suite. Its more modest size does not mean that style is forfeited: did you see the clawfoot tub in the bathroom?! Other noteworthy details include the light wood Juliette window and retro kitchen cabinets. Plus, the building offers a shared rooftop deck perfect for coffee breaks and sunset hangs.
