Open House Tours: Inside 5 Beautifully Distinctive Homes from Williamsburg to Paris with Sara Gore

This week on NBC's Open House, host Sara Gore presents a curated tour of distinctive homes, each defined by thoughtful design and a strong sense of place. The episode begins in Williamsburg, Brooklyn with real estate agent Kirsten Jordan, who introduces a newly built four-story townhouse — located at 172 N 6th Street — that features four bedrooms, 4000 square feet, 3 bathrooms, and a rare twenty-foot width. A light-filled entry gallery with lime washed plaster walls and a sculptural curved staircase sets the tone. The kitchen anchors the main level with custom millwork, Calacatta marble, and a large island for gathering, flowing into a dining area beneath a dramatic double height atrium with a full wall of south facing glass. The garden extends the living space outdoors, while two upper level living rooms offer contrasting moods of quiet retreat and sunlit openness. The full floor primary suite includes a terrace, dressing room, and spacious five-fixture bath, all culminating in a roof deck that offers sweeping Williamsburg views. We then venture to Los Angele where interior designer Theodora Esparza of Studio Stilo shares an inside look at a Steinkamp residence: a beautiful Spanish Colonial Revival home that preserves its 1930s-era character. Stained glass windows, detailed plaster ceilings, and sculptural fireplace establish the foundation of this architectural gem. Layered furnishings, including a Maralunga sofa by Cassina and a siesta chair, introduce warmth and comfort. A cheerful breakfast nook and a richly textured primary bedroom reflect a careful balance between historic detail and contemporary living. Back in Manhattan, gallerist Hong Gyu Shin welcomes viewers into his Lower East Side gallery and nearby apartment. The gallery is designed as a sequence of rooms with rounded corners and overhead light that allows artwork to be seen with clarity. Meanwhile, in his home, art spans from floor to ceiling, paired with select vintage furniture and pieces that range from modern works to antiquity, creating a deeply personal environment that is shaped by beauty and collecting. Next, interior designers Maryana Grinshpun and Jessica Maktal of Mammoth reveas a reimagined prewar apartment on Park Avenue. Walnut cabinetry and integrated design elements unify the space, including a kitchen island that doubles as a dining table. The living room centers on a wood burning fireplace and carefully arranged seating, while the bedroom provides framed views of Park Avenue and the Empire State Building and complements then with soft textures & custom details. Finally, the episode concludes in Paris with recently married author Anna Kloots, who shares her apartment shaped by daily life and personal expression. An airy salon oriented toward the view, an open kitchen with displayed essentials, and a softly layered bedroom create a home that feels intimate, practical, and distinctly her own. Overall, from Brooklyn to Los Angeles, Manhattan to Paris, this episode offers a refined look at homes designed with artistry and everyday living in mind.
