There were multiple listings this week in Bed Stuy. The cheapest home in the top 10 was a condo in Gowanus priced at $899,000, and the most expensive was a Park Slope mansion asking $7.995 million.

Which would you choose?

10. This century-old Georgian Revival townhouse at 301 Caton Avenue in Windsor Terrace boasts an original detail that was highly unusual when it was built in 1915.

9. This early 20th century frame house at 387 East 5th Street in Kensington has some appealing features. It has stately painted columns framing the entrance to the open living and dining areas on the main floor. The inlaid wood floors on the main and second floors appear to be in pristine condition. And for its size — 2,130 square feet — it squeezes in an awful lot: five bedrooms and three full baths.

6. This listing is a head-turner for more reasons than one. The house itself is a stunner — a painstakingly restored 1895 Renaissance Revival Bed Stuy brownstone loaded with original details and exquisite Victorian-style updating. And the sale will come as a shock to many — at 538 Decatur Street, it’s the home of a couple known to many Brownstoner readers and Bed Stuy residents who are restoring or renovating houses.

5. This two-bedroom condo in a recently converted circa-1900 Renaissance Revival building at 24 3rd Street in Carroll Gardens is long and narrow but includes some historic detail and modern touches. The eight-unit building was converted to condos in 2010, so the renovation is relatively new.
