Top 10 Brooklyn Real Estate Listings: A Renovated Brick Townhouse and a Barrel-Fronted Limestone

This week, the top 10 listings on Brownstoner included a newly constructed townhouse in Ocean Hill and a recent reno in Prospect Lefferts Gardens with some original details.

There were multiple listings in East Flatbush, with the others scattered across the borough. The cheapest home of the bunch was a row house in East Flatbush asking $625,000, and the most expensive was a modern Park Slope townhouse asking $7.495 million.

Which would you choose?

10. This home is a shingled row house at 66 Jewel Street in Greenpoint. Eighteen feet wide and forty deep, it’s a two-family, with a unit on each floor — a one-bedroom below and a two-bedroom above. It’s not overloaded with charm or character, but looks to be in decent shape, for those who want to take it as is — it’s a decent candidate for a rehab though.

9. Next up is a brick townhouse on Decatur Street in Bed Stuy that’s been gut renovated. Any remnants of the original structure are a distant memory, and what’s taken its place is not overloaded with charm or character, but it’s serviceable enough, and at 20 feet of width there’s decent space. It’s a two-family, with a three-bedroom duplex over a two-bedroom rental.

8. This home brings us to East Flatbush, and a three-story detached house on East 32nd Street that sits on a 3,600-square-foot lot. It’s a single family that looks to have been used as a dual residence, with kitchens on the first and second floors. So it needs refiguring and a fair amount of updating as well. There are upper and lower front porches, a backyard and a driveway with a large garage in the back.

7. This home is in Ocean Hill, on Herkimer Street between Saratoga and Howard Avenues. There we find a newly constructed single-family townhouse with a brick façade. (It’s “reclaimed brick,” according to the listing.) Reasonably nice as these things go, it’s got an open plan bottom floor with a glass wall in the rear, with a sleek kitchen with white-lacquered cabinets.

6. This home on East 31st Street is a row house with a Romanesque Revival stone façade. This one’s a two-family with a three-bedroom unit on each floor, with less than 1,000 square feet apiece. There are no interior photos, so the exact condition is a mystery, but the low-ish price and the reference to “loads of potential!” are solid clues. The upstairs unit has a deck, and there’s a finished basement with a separate entrance.

5. We’ve got some eye candy for you — and an unusual property. At 77 Prospect Place in Park Slope, it’s a striking, light-filled modern townhouse, designed in 2004 by Baumann Architects, that encompasses and extends an 1890s carriage house. The renovation added a top floor with an open “great room,” and it’s a stunner of a space, with open wood and steel beams and 12-foot ceilings.

4. In Bay Ridge on 76th Street we find a limestone row house with a barrel front that has been in the same family for a long time and “meticulously maintained,” according to the listing. This one’s got quite a bit of original detail, including a tiled entrance foyer, wainscoting, parquet floors, and a coffered ceiling and leaded glass china cabinets in the dining room. There’s a cute and bright kitchen in the rear, with large windows and a glass door that leads out to a deck.

3. In Bushwick on Eldert Street, we find a four-story brick townhouse that stands 17 feet wide, which is having its first showing. It’s renovated (though not a flip), and in move-in shape, and sports six decorative mantels, of marble and slate. It’s set up as a double duplex, with two bedrooms apiece; one has a kitchen that looks close to new, with granite countertops and a wild backsplash of silver tile.

2. Next is an Italianate brick townhouse on 3rd Street in Carroll Gardens, which stands 20 feet wide but a mere 36 feet deep. As it’s currently configured there’s a one-bedroom rental on the garden level and a 2.5-bedroom, two-bath duplex above. It’s a bit drab on the inside, with no vestige of original detail, but it looks to be in move-in shape. There’s a wooden deck off the parlor floor and a deep garden with a stone patio.

1. This home is a flip in Prospect Lefferts Gardens, on Sterling Street between Bedford and Rogers. It’s a two-story one-family with a finished basement that’s been renovated from top to bottom, with new mechanicals, electric and plumbing. There are some restored original details including parquet floors with inlaid borders, a built-in china cabinet in the dining room, wall moldings and a grand pair of Ionic columns.
