First up on our NYC open house roundup for October 12 and 13 is this cutesy Carroll Gardens co-op housed in an old church. The front door of the unit opens up into an oversized foyer space, with plenty of flexibility to fit a WFH setup, exercise bike, or even a dining table as shown in the listing photos. The foyer flows into a generous living room, illuminated via three identical arched windows across the east-facing wall. Up a small set of stairs sits a large kitchen with two distinct countertop areas, and enough room to install an island for more prep space. The home’s one bedroom comes with double-decker storage closets, and a private garden space in the back of the building sweetens the deal.

Here’s another 1-bedroom beauty, this time in Brooklyn Heights. Located in a building built in the 1930s, this apartment is bursting with charming period details such as crown molding, arched doorways, and sturdy hardwood flooring. A dedicated dining room with a glistening tiled floor sits off a renovated contemporary kitchen. The bedroom boasts impressive built-in storage attached to a Murphy bed for the ultimate space-efficient setup. And how about that deep soaking tub set in an opulent marble facade?!

Calling all contemporary connoisseurs! 387 Adelphi Street #A is a 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom modern marvel designed by the esteemed design house OFFICE ONTIC. Sleek lines abound thanks to custom birch plywood millwork across the entire home. A striking kitchen island stands out against the tidy white cabinets, with brand-name appliances nestled between. But the undeniable crown jewel of the home is the massive backyard that comes complete with a landscaped patio. And if that’s not enough outdoor space for you, fantastic Fort Greene Park is a short walk away. 

We’re headed into Manhattan to check out this next listing, which is a Chelsea condo that’s chock-full of unique details you’re unlikely to find in any other current offering in the city. Designed by an artist heavily inspired by sailboat architecture, this 1-bedroom home benefits from multiple sunny skylights and perfect portholes throughout. Hand-crafted steel cabinets can be found in the kitchen and along the hallway toward the bedroom. Speaking of the bedroom, this special lofted space feels like an intimate captain’s quarter. Other standout details include a lush private garden and an oversized closet with stained glass doors. 

The final stop on our tour of NYC open houses for October 12 and 13 is this pet-friendly East Village 1-bedroom, which boasts classic New York motifs like exposed brick and gleaming hardwood in the expansive living room. More exposed brick awaits you in the home’s one bathroom, which also has a vanity with double sinks. And if you like entertaining guests, you’re in luck: the home’s gorgeous kitchen comes with a built-in bar. Cheers!
