While the Gregorian calendar recognizes January as the start of a new year, and February hosts the Lunar New Year, March brings yet another chance at renewal: the spring equinox. Here at StreetEasy, we welcome any opportunity to start anew — and that includes our living spaces. This weekend’s five outstanding open houses might just present you with the fresh start you’ve been looking for, but if nothing below strikes your fancy, browse hundreds more listings here.

First up on our open house roundup for March 2 and 3 is this colossal corner co-op in SoHo. Exposed brick walls offer classic New York charm, while the white wood ceilings recall a breezy California bungalow. Coupled with a chic mix of wood and white laminate cabinetry in the open kitchen, you’ve got a truly versatile space. Thoughtful touches like heated floors in the primary suite and a fully private elevator entrance make this home a no-brainer.
Located in the West Village, this delightful duplex offers a clean, contemporary respite from the bustle of the city. Oversized windows flood light into the living space, which is large enough for a sectional couch plus additional seating. Gorgeous light fixtures hang above the kitchen’s convenient breakfast bar, emphasizing the sheer height of the unit’s ceilings. Behind the kitchen lies a separate office or den space, and the luxurious lofted upper level fits a king-sized bed.
Calling all bookworms! You need to see this Chelsea apartment that comes with a built-in revolving shelf. The dramatic moving shelf separates the bedroom from the living room and is sure to wow your guests, while also allowing you to securely display books, artwork, and knick-knacks on both sides. Designed by architect Steven Holl, this home features a monochrome motif of black oak floors and white brick walls. And don’t forget about the stunning skylights that illuminate the flexible living room.
Our sole Brooklyn listing this week, 395 16th Street #2 is a cute condo straight out of the pages of a modern design magazine. Peek-a-boo strips of exposed brick create pleasant focal points in both bedrooms and the sunny living room. Pops of soothing blue are set against marbled surfaces and polished brass accents in the kitchen, and you better believe the bathrooms are just as renovated and refined. If that’s not enough, this Park Slope home sits just a block and half from Prospect Park.
Last up on our open house roundup for March 2 and 3 is this Hudson Heights co-op that’s anything but humble. Stretching across 2,100 square feet, this home makes a splash with bright tiling in its three bathrooms and unique mirror features throughout its four bedrooms. And can we get a little commotion for that kitchen, with its avant-garde light fixtures and gorgeous hooded range?! We frankly can’t believe this artful abode is still on the market!
