Make a wish: it’s (almost) 11/11! Did you wish for fantastic New York City real estate with distinctive design and awesome amenities? Then you’re in luck. We’ve rounded up five open houses across Manhattan and Brooklyn that are sure to please even the pickiest would-be homeowners. Our tastes this week admittedly run a little lavish — 3 out of 5 are listed for $1 million or more. But we think you deserve to splurge a little. If none of our selections meet your requirements, there are hundreds more available listings on StreetEasy.

First up on our open house roundup for November 11 and 12 is this elegant 1-bedroom in Hell’s Kitchen. Stately white washed exposed brick walls and an ornate stone fireplace create a dreamy atmosphere in the living room. Follow the dramatic blue tiling down into the recessed foyer, which flows directly into a large kitchen with a peekaboo window and retro-inspired flooring. The bedroom benefits from an oversized skylight, two large closets, and built-in bookshelves.
Our obsession with exposed brick continues in this next home, which boasts impressive 12-foot ceilings and raw pipe accents that rival the coolest downtown loft. Oversized exposures with unique wooden treatments flood light into the unit, emphasizing its parquet hardwood floors and intricate crown molding. The bathroom renovations stun with their modern floorings and fixtures. Located in Fort Greene, this 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom home also includes a lush backyard garden and sweeping deck space — perfect for BBQs and/or impromptu concerts!
A petite 1-bedroom pad with pre-war details? Yes, please! This cutie Greenwich Village co-op is a study in swanky space-efficiency with its plethora of built-ins across the living, dining, and foyer areas. The corner kitchen comes equipped with convenient appliances like a dishwasher and wine fridge, and the bathroom’s gold accents are fit for royalty. A grandiose overhead light fixture shines a light on the generous bedroom, which is large enough for a king-size bed plus extra furniture.
Apartment or atrium? This 1-bedroom condo in Williamsburg is essentially both, with floor-to-ceiling windows that wrap around the entire open living/dining/kitchen area and result in a spectacularly sunny space at any hour of the day. It’s perfect for plant lovers and vitamin D lovers alike. The natural light continues into the bedroom, which boasts en-suite access to the unit’s pristine soaking tub. Fresh air is easy to come by via the home’s Juliet balcony, or the building’s rooftop deck with breathtaking Manhattan views.
Last up on our open house roundup for this weekend is an Upper West Side 2-bedroom abode. Pass through one of two curved archways to access the formal dining room, which has room enough for an eight-person table. We especially love the Instagram-worthy vintage bathroom tile, and that the home is located just two blocks from Central Park.
