Top 10 Brooklyn Real Estate Listings: A Colorful Condo and a Dramatic Co-op

The most popular listings on Brownstoner this week include a Park Slope condo with an eye-catching design, a co-op in a former Brooklyn Heights church and a Bed Stuy brownstone with a distinctive green window.

Once again, Bed Stuy ranks high, with multiple popular listings. The least expensive listing is a Bed Stuy Brownstone at $998,000 and the most expensive is a lavish Park Slope brownstone at $5.995 million.

Which would you choose?

10. 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).

8. 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.

7. Here’s a brand new Red Hook townhouse with a striking modern exterior, designed by the NYC-based firm SHoP Architects, whose resume includes a modest little thing called the Barclays Center and a bunch of other major projects. In the midst of big-ticket projects, they seem to have made time for a relatively modest two-family townhouse on Dikeman Street, a choice spot near Fairway and the shops and restaurants of Van Brunt Street.

It’s 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 is a condo that veers off the beaten path. If you’re bored with exposed brick and ceiling beams and cookie-cutter finishes, take a gander at this South Slope duplex, whose interior design looks to have been inspired by Gaudí, or maybe Lewis Carroll. It’s at 372 15th Street in the Park Pavilion condos, one of three buildings with a combined 30 units, constructed in 2003.

4. In Red Hook, we find a brick, carriage-style house on King Street. It’s cozy and distinctive, with some interesting features, including a garage space that’s currently used as an art studio, a steel and oak staircase, a living room with 14-foot ceilings and a polished-concrete floor, a mezzanine-level laundry room, a treehouse-style master bedroom with a terrace.

3. Here’s a Ditmas Park Edwardian with a ton of space, some fetching details and a sweet wraparound porch. Dating back to 1903, it’s in the Ditmas Park Historic District, at 444 East 17th Street, at the corner of Ditmas Avenue. Such houses tend to be large, but this one goes to 11 in that regard. Even a large family would be hard pressed to fill this space.

2. 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.

At 809 Halsey Street, this Renaissance Revival house is in estate condition, looking for someone with the budget and fortitude for a complete overhaul.
