Neighborhood Upper East Side
Borough Manhattan

We begin our tour of NYC open houses for September 30 and October 1 with this Upper East Side home. Spanning two floors and boasting three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a bonus den, this abode provides plenty of space for you to spread out. An entire wall of windows illuminates the massive living room space and adjoining modern Poggenpohl kitchen. Head up the elegant spiral staircase to the primary bedroom, which features a gigantic en-suite bathroom with a Jacuzzi-style soaking tub. A private, keyed elevator adds a lavish touch to an already exclusive experience.

Neighborhood Upper West Side
Borough Manhattan

Just on the other side of Central Park sits this chic 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom home. No expense was spared in the exhaustive remodel: feast your eyes on decadent features like the walnut herringbone wood floors, a custom mural in the primary bedroom, a Calacatta Caldia marble kitchen island, and a working fireplace set in gray soapstone. The third bedroom was designed with flexibility in mind, as it contains a custom Murphy bed.

Neighborhood East Williamsburg
Borough Brooklyn

This 1-bedroom East Williamsburg loft offers the very best of Brooklyn living, with its soaring 16-foot barrel vaulted ceilings and stunning exposed brick walls. A gigantic living area benefits from oversized windows and a skylight. A modern, open kitchen leads to a massive dining space perfect for dinner parties. History buffs will love the building’s past as a firehouse, then an underground music venue, then artist studios.

Neighborhood Upper West Side
Borough Manhattan

Another Upper West Side gem, this 1-bedroom home offers a respite from city living. The soothing tone is immediately set by the home’s tranquil garden entrance. Inside, admire the curved archways as you stroll into the sunny, sunken living room to relax. You’ll find charming blue backsplash in the kitchen, and space enough for a king size bed in the bedroom. Sky’s the limit when it comes to the convenient bonus room: will it be a WFH space, a meditation nook, or something else entirely? You choose!

Neighborhood Ditmas Park
Borough Brooklyn

Last up on our tour of NYC open houses for September 30 and October 1 is this top-floor, 2-bedroom co-op in Ditmas Park. While the Brooklyn neighborhood is often associated with historical charm, this unit is freshly renovated, with dimmable kitchen light fixtures and new bathroom sink pedestal. We especially love the extra spacious primary bedroom, with its double closets and room for a luxurious sitting area by the bed.
