In the midst of a frigid forecast, see the most welcoming fireplaces in NYC condos

By CityRealty Staff | From Great Listings Friday, December 20, 2024

Amenity fireplaces have become more common in NYC new developments

According to the forecast for New York, those dreaming of a white Christmas may be disappointed with no snow in the forecast. But the first day of winter falls on December 21, and it is set to offer appropriately cold temperatures with lows in the teens all weekend and into the next week.

On days like these, going out can be an unpleasant experience. But some lucky residents can enjoy a change of scenery without even putting on their coats. The fireplaces in these buildings' amenity spaces offer a lovely sense of ambiance without residents having to keep the constant eye on them that they would a fireplace in their own home. Moreover, the fireplaces are often at the center of common spaces with libraries, game tables, or big-screen TVs, to name but a few amusements.
