Which would you choose?

10. Here we have a deluxe four-story brick townhouse on Butler Street in Cobble Hill. It’s a nice one, with some high-end upgrading alongside original details, including a working fireplace, moldings and tin and beamed ceilings. There’s an owner’s triplex with the bedrooms on the bottom, and a finished basement below, which offers a den with radiant floor heating.

8. Here’s a Bed Stuy brownstone built circa 1892, that has a lovely and distinctive “bookend” facade with a metal cornice and a curved projecting bay. Romanesque/Renaissance Revival in style, it’s at 297 Hancock Street, in the Bedford Historic District. And it’s a large one, with over 3,600 square feet spread over four stories (not counting the cellar).

7. This co-op doesn’t dazzle with its details or its design, but it offers two bedrooms, a fair amount of space and a practical layout, only a couple blocks from Prospect Park. It’s in Windsor Terrace, on the fourth floor of a 70-unit building built in 1936. The unit offers around 1,050 square feet, with an eat-in kitchen, a living room and two walk-in closets in the master bedroom.

6. Here’s a deluxe residence — a sprawling Park Slope one-family rich in original detail that’s been thoroughly renovated and restored. And it’s quite the looker. A Romanesque Revival brownstone dating to 1893, at 178 8th Avenue in the Park Slope Historic District, it’s a big one, over 6,000 square feet spread over four floors and a finished basement

5. This two-bedroom Brooklyn Heights co-op is more dramatic than average, thanks to its berth in a converted Gothic church, built circa 1850. A duplex with a private entrance, it’s at 99 Clinton Street, which was refashioned and split into 10 units in the 1970s. The most striking elements are the stained glass windows, most notably the massive arched one that stretches from floor to ceiling.

4. Here’s a fine figure of a Bed Stuy brownstone, in prime shape and full of restored original detail. Built in the 1890s and designed by Amzi Hill, it’s on the neighborhood’s eastern end. If it looks familiar it may be because we featured it as a House of the Day a few months back, complimenting its charms but also noting the listing’s subpar photos and lack of a floor plan.

3. Here’s a Bed Stuy brownstone with an eye-catching feature: a green metal bump out with a bank of windows on the upper floor, which makes it quite literally stand out from its neighbors. At 809 Halsey Street, this Renaissance Revival house is in estate condition, looking for someone with the budget and fortitude for a complete overhaul.

2. This Bed Stuy brownstone is newly renovated — and not by flippers. Some care and expense went into updating this one, a late 19th century Romanesque Revival that sits at 611 Macon Street, between Malcolm X Boulevard and Patchen Avenue. Twenty feet wide, it’s a two-family, with a one-bedroom rental on the garden level and a three-bedroom duplex above.

1. Here’s a Bed Stuy brownstone that’s loaded with period detail — most notably mantels. At 629 Putnam Avenue in Stuy Heights, the house has got seven of them, including some pretty ornate Queen Anne-type numbers with mirrors, carved wood and Minton-style tiles. The late Victorian house also sports wedding-cake plaster detailing, inlaid parquet floors, ceiling medallions, crown moldings and wainscoting.
