Can’t decide on plans for this weekend? Maybe we can help! We’ve rounded up our five favorite NYC open houses for March 25 and 26 below. Our list features a mix of 1- and 2-bedroom homes in both Manhattan and Brooklyn. Beamed ceilings, built-ins, and backyards are the stars of the show, but don’t just take our word for it: clear your schedule and visit these impeccable offerings for yourself. As always, StreetEasy’s got plenty more to see and it couldn’t be easier to save your favorites.
First up on our list of open houses for March 25 and 26 is this excellent, efficient corner unit in Downtown Brooklyn. Natural light streams in through the six large windows, filling the entire home from the 14-foot ceilings all the way down to the lustrous hardwood. The primary bedroom is a sunny sanctum that immediately soothes all who enter. And a second lofted bedroom (or office!) sits at the top of an impressive metal and wood staircase.
This 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom penthouse home in Greenwich Village is the picture of peace. Signs of its expert design can be found in the elegant exposed beams, chic black window treatments, and refinished flooring. A wood-burning fireplace provides comfort in the living area. But the undeniable hallmark of this home is the massive wrap-around brick terrace. It spans the northern, western, and southern sides of the building, providing breathtaking city vistas no matter where you’re perched.
We’re sticking around the Village a little bit longer to admire this small-but-mighty 1-bedroom with access to a private garden. The large, south-facing window treatments drip with vintage charm, while two mirror-image brick mantles punctuate both the bedroom and living area. With two full bathrooms, this unit would make the perfect starter home for couples and/or those who love to entertain guests.
A Tudor-style 2-bedroom house in the heart of Manhattan? We promise this is real life and not a fairytale. Located on Pomander Walk – a historic enclave on the Upper West Side – this unique abode immediately makes a splash with an enchanting front garden and royal blue shutters. Original features like exposed brick have been preserved, alongside recent renovations such as a built-in dining banquette and custom shelves in the living room. Both bedrooms offer lots of storage, too. Don’t sleep on the chance to own this one-of-a-kind piece of New York history!
What better way to end our tour of NYC open houses for March 25 and 26 than with a wonderful Williamsburg backyard? It’s the perfect place to host friends and family for a barbeque or dinner party. And the house it’s attached to is great, too. Offering two big bedrooms, spa-like bathroom updates, and gleaming white flooring throughout, this unit is cute and contemporary. Bonus: it’s also highly accessible as a certified HDFC co-op.
