This week, our look back at four of our featured listings from six months ago focuses on homes in Bay Ridge, Park Slope, Clinton Hill and Bed Stuy. How did they fare?

Located in the Park Slope Historic District Extension and down the block from jazz club Barbès, the five-bedroom, 3.5-bath brownstone is part of a group of four houses, paired two by two and interrupted by a few interloping Queen Anne-style brownstones. The listing describes the interior as having “grandeur, craftsmanship, and attention to detail of a bygone era,” which we can’t dispute. This former House of the Day is sold in February for $2.825 million, which was $25,000 above the asking price.

Next, a post-war co-op in Clinton Hill that reflects that era’s version of the modern lifestyle, updated here for our contemporary standards. That means, among other things, squeezing a second bedroom into a once one-bedroom apartment in lieu of a dining area. Featuring oak wood floors, custom blond wood cabinets and a bathroom blanketed in Arabascato Carrara marble, the co-op comes in at probably about 600 square feet, judging by old floor plans. This former Co-op of the Day is currently off the market.

Situated along the shores of southern Brooklyn just after the rapidly developing Sunset Park, this 1923 fully detached Dutch colonial cottage at 7302 Ridge Boulevard really puts itself out there with a gambrel roof and a nicely tended garden on a corner lot. Inside, you can find original hardwood parquet floors, stained glass windows, a generous enclosed sunroom, a well-preserved 1950s kitchen straight out of Leave It to Beaver and three ample bedrooms. This former House of the Day sold in April for $1.3 million, which was $95,000 below the asking price.

Wrapping up, we have a circa 1880 brownstone at 24 Halsey Street, in the Bedford Historic District. Currently configured as a triplex above a garden rental, it has a small platformed stage in the backyard. It’s been recently renovated, according to the listing, with a large eat-in kitchen at the back of the parlor floor that has a center island that doubles as a breakfast bar, black cabinetry on both sides of the room and new appliances. This former Open House Pick is currently off the market.
