South Slope Open House Roundup: October 20-21

In the market for a new place to call home? Here are our top open house picks for this weekend. Let us know what you think:

198 21st Street, Apt. 1A, between 4th and 5th Avenues
Open House: Saturday, October 20, 12-2pm

This two-bedroom, two-bath home listed by Tom Crimmins Realty is a condo with 1,100 square feet of  living space, maple kitchen with granite, hardwood floors, marble bath, large playroom (or office), and laundry. The basement level rooms are understandably dark and cavernous looking, but given the private garden area, this can be easily overlooked. The building is right across the street from the Al-Noor School, so expect some kid noise. Asking $570,000 and includes tax abatement.

231 15th Street, Apt 5A, between 5th and 6th Avenues
Open House: Sunday, October 21, 12-1:30pm

This two-bedroom, two-bath condo listed by Corcoran is a 1,219-square-foot “sexy” loft-style apartment in an elevator building that features all the fancy interior stuff you expect, like granite and stainless steel, plus a washer/dryer hookup, ample closet space and a private terrace. Large windows in the living room offer a pretty stellar views of New York Harbor. Asking $999,000, common charges are $554.

231 15th Street, Apt 4A, between 5th and 6th Avenues
Open House: Sunday, October 21, 12-1:30pm

In the same building as the apartment above, this three-bedroom, two-bath condo is also listed by Corcoran. The 1,472-square-foot space has all the same fancy interior stuff, like granite and stainless steel, plus a washer/dryer, ample closet space and a private 100-square-foot terrace. You might not have the harbor views from this one, but I’ll bet you get a pretty sweet view from the common roof deck. Asking $1,295,000, common charges are $549.

1638 8th Avenue, Apt. 1F, between Widson Place and Prospect Avenue
Open House: Saturday, October 20, 12-1pm

This two-bedroom, 2.5-bath condo comes in at a whopping 1,667 square feet and boasts top of the line appliances, Italian made tiles, central air conditioning, a bonus rec room and oak floors. The kitchen counter space alone makes this place a definite must see. Listed by Halstead Properties, the 27-unit condo also features a common garden and roof deck with city and harbor views. Asking $999,000 and includes 25 year tax abatement.

361 12th Street, Apt. 1, between 6th and 7th Avenues
Open House: Sunday, October 21, 2-3:30pm

Looking for a contemporary design in a historic building? This legal one-bed, 1.5-bath (currently used as a two-bed) listed by Betancourt & Associates, features a 1,300+ square foot open layout, exposed brick (love the exposed brick), wood-burning fireplace, pine floors, ample closets, washer and dryer, automated home audio distribution system (cool) in every room and a 700-square-foot private garden (shown above). Asking $1,175,000. Low common charges and tax abatement also noted.
