First up on our New York City open house roundup for November 16 and 17 is this lovely Lenox Hill 1-bedroom. The living room is illuminated by two oversized exposures that bookend a sweet swath of exposed brick. These windows give way to not one, but *two* private balconies with sweeping East River views. Creative cabinetry in the kitchen maximizes space, while the windowed bathroom benefits from a soaking tub. The unit is located in The Cherokee, a building constructed circa 1909 with a live-in super, laundry room, and central courtyards.
Calling all readers! This gorgeous Greenwich Village abode contains a remarkable wall of built-in bookshelves that span the entire length of the combination living/dining room. It’s the perfect place to display your collection of rare books and maybe a TV, too — we don’t judge. The kitchen is a home chef’s dream, with a curved L-shaped countertop and walk-in pantry for storing canned goods, pots, and pans. A staircase leads up to a lofted sleeping space, promising peace and privacy. This special room also includes a large dressing area and two massive closets.
Join us in drooling over this Jackson Heights co-op. Refined details like wainscoting, transom windows, and carved ceiling medallions set this home apart from the rest. Gray stone countertops effortlessly complement the sweet patterned backsplash in the kitchen. The apartment’s 2-bedroom floor plan allows for flexibility: use the rooms as intended, or convert one of them into an office space for work-from-home tranquility. As for the bathroom, we just have two words for you: clawfoot tub.
We can’t get enough of this unique Upper Carnegie Hill home. A wall of windows with smart mirror accents shines light into the generous common room, which has space enough for a sectional couch plus a full-sized dining table. High-end Miele and Bloomberg appliances await you in the galley kitchen, outfitted with cabinets and three tiers of open shelves. The unit’s two bedrooms come with custom built-in shelving that skims the lower part of the wall for an effortlessly stylish effect. And at less than one block from Central Park, the location truly can’t be beat.
Last but certainly not least on our tour of NYC open houses for November 16 and 17 is this cutie Chelsea studio. Brilliant white beams hang overhead while rich, gleaming wide-plank hardwood gleams underfoot. We’re obsessed with the funky lime green tiling in the kitchen, as well as the retro brown and tan bathroom vibes. A queen-sized sleeping alcove comes with a closet and storage. And with a pet-friendly policy, what more could you possibly want?
