Top 10 Brooklyn Real Estate Listings: Bed Stuy Brownstones and Beamed Ceilings

This week, Brownstoner readers gravitated towards homes over the million dollar mark, with just one coming in at six figures. The most popular listings included just one co-op in the mix, the rest were one and two-family homes, with multiple brownstones and more than one stand-alone house.

While there were three listings in Bed Stuy, the rest were scattered throughout the borough. The cheapest was a detached single-family in East Flatbush at $518,000 and the priciest was a limestone Renaissance Revival in Prospect Heights at $3.8 million.

Which would you choose?

6. This Bed Stuy brownstone is a head turner, with choice original details and some bold design choices that will thrill some buyers and turn off others. If it looks like it wasn’t the work of your average brownstone dweller that’d be correct — it’s the home of the flamboyant and genre-blurring singer and producer Santigold.

5. The listing for this Bed Stuy home calls it “an opportunity to design your own home all while still living in the house and collecting income” — combine that with the scant photos and the reference to “great bones” and it seems to suggest that parts of the house need work. There are reputed to be “original details throughout,” and the images are nice enough, showing a mantel, some wide-plank original floors, and a newly renovated kitchen.
