The New York City weather is finally nice again, which makes looking for a home even more fun. If you’re headed out to open houses this weekend, here are some standout places to see. They include a Gilded Age 2-bedroom in Brooklyn that looks, well, straight out of The Gilded Age, an Upper East Side 1-bedroom with extraordinary windows, and the NoHo loft of your dreams. This is only a sliver of what’s out there, so always know you can find even more great listings on StreetEasy. Enjoy the weekend!
This stunning Gilded Age 2-bedroom on the Upper West Side is beautifully renovated. It maintains original details and features like 11-foot ceilings, a wood-burning fireplace, solid oak floors, exposed brick, and a wood beam ceiling. The kitchen has updated cabinets, as well as appliances like a Miele dishwasher and hybrid four-burner cooktop with wall oven. The upper level houses the bedrooms, bathroom, and a washing machine and dryer. The primary bedroom is sprawling with a large window and a door that leads to a large, covered private terrace overlooking the building’s courtyard.
Over in Park Slope we have an absolutely gorgeous 2-bedroom. One of Brooklyn’s Romanesque Revival homes on Sportsmen’s Row — a stretch that was once home to many jockeys — it has 15-foot ceilings, huge windows, delicate millwork, stained glass panels that are original to the home, and exposed brick. The living room has built-in bookcases, a coffered plaster ceiling, and a beautiful windowed cabinet. The kitchen is wonderfully large with an area for dining that has a period fireplace mantel. There’s also a center island, wooden cabinets, and soft green backsplash.
If you’ve always wanted to live in Chelsea, here’s a 1-bedroom with so much to love. The living room’s details take you back in time with high ceilings, period window shutters, a decorative fireplace, and built-in bookcases. The two street-facing windows bring in lots of light. The kitchen has its own nook with a window, subway tile backsplash that makes the space feel modern, and a dishwasher for the utmost convenience.
This NoHo 2-bedroom has the quintessential New York City loft appeal. The huge windows, which offer views of Washington Square Park, and 11.5-foot ceilings make the space feel large, open, and sunny. The loft configuration is flexible for many different setups. The building’s offerings include a video intercom system, landscaped terrace, and laundry room.
In Lenox Hill, here’s a 1-bedroom duplex in a 1928 building. The double-height living room has a 13-foot ceiling, a wood-burning fireplace, and huge paned windows that stretch nearly across the wall. There’s an elegant iron-railed staircase that takes you up to the second level, which has a redesigned kitchen and a bedroom with a custom dressing space. The building has an elevator and a doorman.
