It’s the first weekend of spring — a great time to start house hunting! Our favorite open houses this week include a Prospect Heights townhome that’s straight out of a movie set, an Upper West Side 3-bedroom with views of the Museum of Natural History, and a 1-bedroom on the top floor of the incredibly iconic Ansonia building. But if none of these are a fit for you, there are so many more to see on StreetEasy.
If you’re looking for the ultimate New York City apartment, we’ve found it for you. This townhouse in Prospect Heights is currently set up as a 3-bedroom duplex above a rental on the garden level. The home is 20 feet wide and has been extensively renovated. It maintains architectural details like stained glass windows and period woodwork, but also boasts modern features such as two Italianate marble fireplace mantels, engineered European oak floors, and a kitchen that was custom-designed in Italy.
This beautifully sun-filled Upper West Side 3-bedroom has wraparound views of the Museum of Natural History, Central Park, and the Manhattan skyline. The building was constructed in 1898, so the apartment has high ceilings and hardwood floors. A recent renovation added updates like high-end stainless steel appliances and a laundry room with a washer and dryer. In addition to the three bedrooms, the unit has an office. The dining and living rooms flow into each other, creating a sprawling space.
As a corner unit, this Windsor Terrace 2-bedroom gets a lot of sun and is designed to take advantage of the light. Charming internal windows between the foyer (which can be used as a dining nook) and living room help make the space particularly bright. The living room is well sized, and the windowed kitchen has wooden cabinets, stone countertops, tile backsplash, and a dishwasher. The building also has an elevator, landscaped front yard, laundry room, and video intercom system.
Located on the top floor of the Ansonia, an iconic Upper West Side building, this 2-bedroom is truly a New York City original. The apartment sits within the mansard roof of the building, which gives it a unique shape. There are circular windows in each of the rooms, as well as skylights and light from three exposures. The full bathroom has a Jacuzzi tub, while the half-bathroom has a washing machine and dryer. The Beaux-Arts building offers a grand lobby, doorman, and landscaped roof deck.
At 900 square feet, this Chelsea 1-bedroom is spacious and bright. The sunken living room, which highlights the high ceilings and hardwood floors, is a focal point. The kitchen has a dishwasher and there’s a windowed dining area. A notable amount of storage space abounds, including three closets in the hallway and a storage closet within the bathroom. The bedroom is large enough to create an office space within it, and the recently renovated building has video security as well as a laundry room.
