Four Distinctive Houses to See This Warm Weekend, Starting at $1.9 Million

We’ve got four distinctive properties on view this weekend, each interesting in its own way, each ready for inhabitation. And you could hit all of them on a moderately strenuous bike ride. There’s a grand renovated limestone in Park Slope, a 19th-century frame house in Boerum Hill, a newly rebuilt modern townhouse in Greenwood Heights, and an artist’s abode in Red Hook.

First up, a single-family limestone on 3rd Street in Park Slope, which has been given an arty, modern makeover by the firm Rigg Design, which pairs the houses original details with some interesting finishes: “today’s cutting edge melds seamlessly into 19th century elegance,” says the listing. Take the dining room, where original wainscoting sits next to a fireplace made from a giant slab of Giallo Siena marble. It’s a distinctive house with a price tag to match — and large as well, at around 4,500 square feet. There are three bedrooms as it stands, but two more could be created on the second floor. The house has three decks, “edgy Italian and Belgian lighting throughout,” an English basement with a slate floor, a guest bedroom and a full bath and kitchen, a hydronic boiler, a new electrical system, zoned central air, and a house-wide speaker system.

Next stop is Dean Street in Boerum Hill, where we find a wood-frame house that dates to the 1850s, according to the listing. It’s got original details including tin ceilings wide plank floors, and marble mantles; condition looks decent but it could probably use some updating. There’s a lower duplex, with the kitchen and living space on the garden level and bedrooms above, and a pair of 1.5-bedroom floor-through apartments on the upper floors. A sweet backyard on this one, with a koi pond, a footbridge and an apple tree.

On 19th Street in Greenwood Heights, we have a townhouse that’s been given a top-to-bottom modern makeover — look for the one with the bright yellow door. Whether it was rehabbed by a previous occupant or a flipper we’re not sure, but it looks brand new, with white-oak flooring, steel-railed open stairs, a gas burning fireplace and floor-to-ceiling glass at the rear of the open parlor floor. There are two bedrooms and a study upstairs and a finished lower level with a full bath and a bedroom marked on the floor plan as guest room. There’s zoned central air a cedar-fenced garden landscaped with bluestone and newly planted trees.

The last point on the map is Red Hook, where 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 on the top level, and three other terraces including a roof deck with city and harbor views. There are three bedrooms; a kitchen with custom cabinetry, a breakfast bar and marble countertops; and dual zone heat and air conditioning.
