A new month bursting with exciting possibilities is upon us! If you’re wanting to take advantage of the fresh spring energy to find a new home, you’re in the right place. We’ve rounded up five of the hottest open houses across New York City this weekend, featuring stunning renovations and outdoor space galore. But if nothing below strikes your fancy, never fear: StreetEasy’s got thousands more available listings. Happy browsing!
First up on our NYC open house roundup for May 2 and 3 is this pretty Park Slope pad. Recessed lighting illuminates the pristine white-washed red oak plank flooring underfoot. Exposed brick walls provide a charming backdrop for the home’s one bedroom, located at the back of the floor plan for optimal privacy. The kitchen will delight even the pickiest home chefs with its state-of-the-art appliances. In the summer months, you can take the party outside to the unit’s private 400-square-foot garden. Sweet!
Calling all bookworms! You’ll love the massive built-in shelves in this luxurious NoHo loft. It’s even got a rolling ladder for easy breezy browsing. An open layout allows the unit’s unique architectural details — like exposed piping — to sing, while 11-foot ceilings provide sweeping wall space for you to decorate to your heart’s content. The impeccably designed bathroom is a true spa retreat with frosted glass doors, a deep soaking tub encased in serene green tiling, and a rain shower with stone flooring.
Check out this chic and contemporary Chelsea condo. We especially love how the crisp wainscoting carves out distinct picture-frame-like pockets for artwork and photos. Not to mention the monochrome kitchen, which balances sleek black cabinetry with marble countertops large enough for meal prep. A dramatic arched doorway leads to the bedroom, which benefits from a custom desk space and floor-to-ceiling closets. The home has two full bathrooms, making it the perfect place for welcoming visitors.
This 2-bedroom Prospect Heights parlor apartment proves that prewar is always a good idea. The tops of the 13-foot ceilings are punctuated by ornate carvings, which match the elegant vibe of the decorative fireplace. And how about those original double parlor doors?! Both bedrooms are sunny and spacious. The primary comes with direct access to the home’s exclusive terrace, easily outfitted with outdoor furniture to create a peaceful al fresco sanctuary.
Last but certainly not least on our tour of NYC open houses for May 2 and 3 is this unbelievable Upper West Side 3-bedroom. The splendor starts as soon as you walk through the front door when a gorgeous, painted foyer proves you don’t need to sacrifice aesthetics for function. There’s seamless flow into the grand living room, anchored by a large south-facing window with Hudson River views. Bright paint provides pops of color throughout the bedrooms and bathrooms, and there’s even a dedicated dining area right off the kitchen.
