New York City apartments look particularly beautiful and the spring, making it an excellent time to check out some open houses. This weekend we have some great finds including an apartment in a historic Fort Greene building with stunning views, and a Gramercy Park triplex with a jewel of a terrace. If there’s a theme for our selections this week, it’s notably beautiful windows letting in great natural light — perfect for this time of year. Enjoy these picks, and if you’re looking for something else, there are always many, many more on StreetEasy.
