It’s Friday! Before you slam your laptop shut for the weekend, treat yourself to a little real estate browsing. This week we’ve got a smorgasbord of open houses, from modern Manhattan lofts to vintage Brooklyn abodes. Take our word for it: you won’t want to miss these five incredible homes. As always, if nothing below does it for you, there are thousands more available listings on StreetEasy. Happy scrolling!
First up on our NYC open house roundup for October 10 and 11 is this chic Carroll Gardens 1-bedroom nestled on the parlor level of a refined brownstone. Flooded with light thanks to oversized exposures on both ends of the unit, 588 Henry Street #2 boasts crisp doorway moldings, unique tin ceilings, and gleaming hardwood floors. The airy, open kitchen comes with impressive triple-height cabinetry and a mahogany breakfast bar for two. The bathroom has been recently renovated with a Toto toilet, exposed wood shelving, and a deep soaking tub. The home’s one bedroom is a peaceful refuge from city life, complete with treetop views.
We’re obsessed with this tremendous Tribeca loft. Located in a historic building from circa 1881, which originated as a coconut processing plant, this home provides approximately 1,500 square feet of seamless flow from one room to the other. Exposed brick walls and wooden ceiling beam accents provide an aesthetic throughline, which complement minimalist and minimalist tastes alike. Both bedrooms are well-proportioned and benefit from efficient closet systems. There’s even a stunning shared roof deck, perfect for sunset hangs with friends and family.
Check out this cutie Chelsea condo, which feels like an elegant townhouse thanks to its split-level floorplan. On the main level, a pristine Palladian window serves as a focal point in the living room, which gives way to a kitchen fit for a Michelin-trained chef. The lower level consists of a den, home office, and generous bedroom. But the primary suite is where it’s at: big enough for a king-sized bed and including a spa-like, en-suite bathroom, it’s also got French doors that lead directly to your private garden paradise. Located smack-dab in the middle of dynamic Chelsea, this home is an easy “yes!”
Back to Brooklyn we go! This beautiful Brooklyn Heights corner unit is dripping with prewar character thanks to its patterned hardwood and original wainscoting. The kitchen comes with not only a dishwasher, but also a washer/dryer for the ultimate convenience. But don’t make the mistake of thinking this space is purely utilitarian — its charming window shutters create the ultimate cozy dining nook. Two full bathrooms make this home extra welcoming for guests. Bonus: this is the only 1-bedroom floor plan in the coveted co-op building, which comes with 24-hour attendants and an astonishing rooftop solarium.
Talk about a grand entrance! Last but certainly not least on our NYC open house roundup for October 10 and 11 is this gorgeous Gramercy residence, which has a breathtaking half-moon shaped living area that greets you upon entering. From there, it’s easy to waltz out to the fully private terrace space with room for both al-fresco lounging and dining. The kitchen is a modern marvel, as is the bathroom. Both bedrooms are sunny and spacious, and yeah, the ceilings are really 14.5 feet tall. Wow!
