First up on our NYC open house roundup for September 7 and 8 is this sweet, sophisticated 1-bedroom in Prospect Lefferts Gardens. Architectural features such as arched doorways, original hardwood floors, and a sunken living room make this apartment stand out. Coupled with upgrades in the stunning chef’s kitchen (a two-drawer dishwasher, anyone?!) and a head-to-toe renovation in the bathroom, this home is the perfect combination of preserved history and modern convenience. And the perks don’t stop inside the unit — the pet-friendly building offers an elevator, part-time doorman, and live-in super.

Another Brooklyn beauty, this Park Slope corner 1-bedroom makes a bold first impression. As soon as you walk through the front door, you’re greeted with textured blue wallpaper in the combination foyer/office space. Through bright red arched pocket doors, the expansive living room features a bay window, funky textured ceiling medallion, and ornate mantle. From there, glide into the L-shaped kitchen that has space enough for an island, plus a four-person dining table under another bay window. An intricately carved wooden doorway leads to the home’s king-size bedroom, which boasts a stately decorative mantle and floor-to-ceiling built-in shelves.

Home chefs, pay attention! This West Village wonder has one of most soothing kitchens you’re likely to see on the market. The gleaming marble countertops and backsplash are perfectly complemented by the pristine upholstered dining banquette. The immaculate attention to detail doesn’t just stop at the kitchen, though: there are beamed ceilings throughout, spa-like bathrooms, and even a fully landscaped private terrace. Yes, the price tag is hefty. But considering the home was designed by Architectural Digest–approved Gregory Rockwell Interiors, we think it’s well worth the price.

Thanks to a full gut renovation, this chic and contemporary West Chelsea apartment is completely turnkey. The floor plan ensures optimal privacy and peace with the bedrooms situated on opposite sides of the unit. Thoughtful touches include built-in storage in the living room and an eat-in breakfast bar. But don’t think that style was sacrificed for these space-efficient measures: every inch of the space was meticulously designed, from the glass dome lighting fixtures to the brass antique-style showerhead to the white oak hardwood. 

Last but certainly not least on our NYC open house roundup for September 7 and 8 is this cutie Clinton Hill co-op. Sunny doesn’t even begin to cover it, as there are exposures in every single room. We love how the vented brass hood stands out against the white-washed exposed brick in the open kitchen, as well as all the curated pops of brass in the white tiled bathroom. There’s a bonus space off the bedroom, perfect for an office or yoga room, as well as an in-unit washer/dryer. What more could you possibly want?
