10. Here’s a Prospect Lefferts Gardens townhouse that’s been in the same family for six decades, with its original details intact, including chandeliers.

8. We’d all love a 19th century carriage house, but there aren’t many opportunities to rent one. But here’s one up for grabs at 17 Hunts Lane in Brooklyn Heights, on a dead-end mews that runs off Henry Street between Remsen and Joralemon. It’s also got a parking spot in an interior garage, something else renters rarely get a crack at.

7. Here’s a grand 1907 Colonial in move-in condition that offers all you want in a Prospect Park South manse, including acres of space, original details, tasteful updates, a sweet wraparound porch and a century-old cherry tree. It’s at 85 Argyle Road, between Church and Albemarle, in the Prospect Park South Historic District. Curb appeal is considerable, with its landscaped front yard, gracefully curving enclosed porch and upper bays with diamond-paned windows.

6. Here’s a Gowanus townhouse that’s been gut renovated and dressed up with high-end, modern finishes by the design firm Lyons Studio. It’s at 191 8th Street, between 3rd and 4th Avenues, on the edge of a neighborhood that’s seen a lot of change lately, and is likely to see a good bit more. Designer Merrill Lyons got a write-up in Dwell for her own Gowanus townhouse, and this one has some common DNA.

5. Here’s a duplex condo that occupies the upper floors of a landmarked Park Slope brownstone, with some nice details, four bedrooms and a terrace. It’s one of two duplex units at 781 Carroll Street, which could make financing tricky, on a prime Center Slope block not far from Prospect Park. The place needs some polishing, including painting and floor refinishing, and could use some upgrading as well.

4. On Hancock Street in Bed Stuy is a four-story townhouse with an eye-grabbing English Arts and Crafts exterior. Sadly, the prosaic interior is a duller affair, though it’s newly renovated. Or most of it is at least — the garden level still needs “TLC.” This one’s set up as an investment property, with a unit on each floor, arranged for the maximum number of bedrooms.

3. This wood-frame house in Greenwood Heights has a yellow clapboard facade and was fully renovated 11 years ago. There’s new electric and plumbing, and it was clearly undergoing some polishing at the time the photos were taken. It’s got an upper triplex over a rental, which is presumably legal but looks pretty basement-like.

2. In Flatlands on East 48th Street is a brick row house that’s move-in ready. It’s got two bedrooms, a living room with a vaulted ceiling and a renovated kitchen spread over its single floor; below is a finished basement with a rec room, a full bath, and a windowed office space. There are a brick front porch, a rear garage and a garden.

1. Here’s a townhouse on Clinton Street in Carroll Gardens that’s been given a luxe makeover. It’s quite a narrow one — a mere 13 feet wide — but with four floors and a single-family configuration, it offers decent space. It features a full-floor master suite with dual walk-in closets and a marble-tiled bath with a glass-walled shower and a freestanding tub.
