Views from the bay window at 50 United Nations Plaza (Zeckendorf Marketing LLC)

From Great Listings Listings with bay windows to put holiday decorations front and center

By CityRealty Staff Tuesday, December 6, 2022

Architectural trends come and go, but the bay window has been a popular part of building styles from Queen Anne to Georgian to contemporary. They would appear to be a key part of historic townhouses seen on a walk through parts of Brooklyn and Manhattan, but have been reinterpreted to dramatic effect at newer condos like Lantern House and 11 Hoyt Street, to name a few.

In addition to adding a touch of architectural interest on the outside, bay windows can have a dramatic effect on a home's interior. Not only do they fill the room with light, but they can also make the rooms appear larger. Some imaginative designers will use creative colors and/or upholstery to make the bay window the focal point of the room, while others use it as a space for a built-in window seat or desk. Moreover, whether you're displaying a Christmas tree or a menorah this season, a bay window serves as a natural focal point for decorations. We take a look at apartments with bay windows that look impressive now and all year round.
