Welcome back to the most exciting part of your week: our open house roundup, where we bring you the very best of New York City real estate. Manhattan and Park Slope, Brooklyn host this weekend’s picks, which feature ornate tin ceilings, stunning built-in bars, and fascinating historical origins. If none of these gorgeous homes do it for you, StreetEasy has endless other NYC listings to browse.
We’re starting our NYC open house roundup for September 16 and 17 with an adorable, affordable abode. Located in the bustling West Village, this 1-bedroom top-floor apartment boasts an airy living room with a built-in desk. Marble countertops set against a soothing sage green backsplash makes meal prep a breeze. And the space-efficient, built-in bed offers storage galore. Plus, this under $1 million home is a veritable piece of NYC history: the brownstone that houses the unit was once the workshop of famed anthropologist and noted feminist Margaret Mead.
Rustic mountain digs or a serene South Slope condo? This 2-bedroom Brooklyn home looks like the former, with its warm maple wood accents throughout the kitchen, living room, and staircase. Two bedrooms plus a generous mezzanine space provide countless living configurations. And with both a private terrace and rooftop deck, you’ll have ample opportunity to enjoy the great outdoors from the comfort of your own home.
This Chelsea residence is the perfect combination of modern sophistication and rustic charm. It’s the kind of place that’s just begging for a lavish dinner party, with its cozy dining nook and large separate bar area complete with a wine fridge. The rest of the home is just as well designed, from the first-floor bedroom complete with a walk-in closet to the massive soaking tub in the primary bathroom. Bonus sleeping lofts provide convenient space for overnight guests.
This cutie 1-bedroom is a light-filled paradise in Park Slope. A flexible open living and dining area means endless layout possibilities. The kitchen is a retro throwback, with tons of light wood cabinets set against black quartz countertops. The generous bedroom has enough space for a king-size bed and multiple furnishings. And it’s mere minutes away from all the green space and walking paths that epic Prospect Park has to offer, not to mention important cultural landmarks like the library and Brooklyn Museum.
Our last stop on our NYC open house roundup for September 16 and 17 is this 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom SoHo dream house. Original cast iron columns punctuate the sweeping space and draw the eye up to the embellished tin ceilings. Even the most cooking-averse individuals will want to spend every waking moment in the designer kitchen, with its deep wood cabinets, refined stone countertops, and extra long island. The bedrooms are sunny safe havens, and a private keyed elevator adds a reassuring level of safety to the already exclusive space.
