Welcome back to the most exciting part of your week — our open house round-up, where we hand pick stand-out New York City real estate for your viewing and buying pleasure. This week, we’re serving up homes in Manhattan and Brooklyn that offer outdoor spaces and designer dining rooms. But if none of these scratch your itch, don’t worry — there’s plenty more available homes with open houses on StreetEasy.
The first stop on our NYC open house round up for October 7 and 8 is this 1-bedroom co-op in Kips Bay. It’s easy to see why this spectacular home was featured in Architectural Digest: Contemporary fixtures such as black-out shades in the bedroom and Porcelanosa tiling in the kitchen elevate this unit beyond your typical apartment. The bathroom — newly renovated and expanded in 2022 — is especially refined, boasting a custom walnut slatted vanity with a Nero Marquina slab top. Located in the pet-friendly Peter James building, this home gets you access to countless appealing amenities such as a sweeping roof deck and a 24-hour doorman on site.
Check out this sun-drenched penthouse unit located in idyllic Lenox Hill. Stretch out across the duplex’s generous two floors which feature an uber-flexible living/dining space and convenient built-in bookshelves situated behind the modern staircase. A massive bay window shines a light into the spacious bedroom, which is big enough for a king-sized bed plus seating area. Plus there’s a private terrace with its own electricity and plumbing hook-ups. Can’t you just imagine sipping your morning coffee al fresco as you admire the gorgeous city views?
There’s so much to love about this elegant 1300-square-foot prewar Prospect Heights home, it’s hard to pick our favorite feature. Perhaps it’s the stately wall molding and artful chandelier in the formal dining room that’s just begging for dinner parties? Or the chef’s kitchen recently renovated with sea-green glass backsplash and light wood cabinetry? Or maybe it’s the two massive, windowed south-facing bedrooms? Upon further reflection, it’s definitely the home’s amazing location just steps away from Prospect Park and the Botanical Garden.
We dare you not to fall in love with this cutie 1-bedroom condo. It’s the pinnacle of Greenwich Village living, with majestic, high ceilings and close proximity to Washington Square Park. The bedroom features a chic navy accent wall and gleaming hardwood floors, and there’s even a convenient nook in the kitchen for a dedicated WFH or study space. And with ridiculously low monthlies, this unit is truly the perfect starter home.
Our last featured home on our NYC open house round up for October 7 and 8 is this astounding 2-bedroom, 1.5 bathroom Chelsea apartment. Designed by a French architect, the abode’s brick fireplace and exposed beamed ceiling recalls the coziest European chateau. A built-in dining nook with bench seating is a unique centerpiece, and the primary suite offers a walk-in closet and spa-like bathroom.
