Midtown open houses to check out this weekend

Welcome to the weekly Open House Tour, because who doesn't love a little real estate gawking? This time around, we're looking at what's on the market in Midtown.

Douglas Elliman.

↑ A one-bedroom, one-bathroom on East 38th Street is asking $629,000. It’s a pretty standard place, with beamed ceilings, hardwood floors, and an open kitchen with a breakfast bar. A potential con: The monthly maintenance is $1,188. [Floorplan]

When: Sunday, August 27 (2 p.m. to 3 p.m.)

Compass.

↑ For $385,000, there’s this small but sun-filled studio in Sutton Place. The apartment makes decent use of its space and is equipped with a full kitchen with a good amount of cabinets and a full bathroom. [Floorplan]

When: Sunday, August 27 (1 p.m. to 2:30 p.m.)

Kian Realty.

↑ Perhaps a price chop will help this quirky studio, now asking $450,000, find a buyer. The small space is full of eccentric details, including a turquoise built-in desk, a king-size Murphy bed, and, somehow, a walk-in closet. [Floorplan]

When: Sunday, August 27 (12 p.m. to 1:30 p.m.)

Pergolotti Realty.

↑ This cute alcove studio is going for $438,000. The apartment spans 650 square feet and comes with its own sleeping alcove. There’s no lack of storage space: It has custom overhead shelving and built-in cubbies, in addition to a large walk-in closet and three smaller closets. [Floorplan]

When: Sunday, August 27 (12 p.m. to 1:30 p.m.)

Sotheby’s.

↑ And lastly, there’s this two-bedroom, one-bathroom seeking $860,000. The co-op comes with original oak floors, a wood-burning fireplace, beamed ceilings, oversized windows, and a five large closets. It could also benefit from a more modern makeover; meanwhile, maintenance is pricey at $1,735/month. [Floorplan]

When: Sunday, August 27 (12 p.m. to 1:30 p.m.)
