Top 10 Brooklyn Real Estate Listings: A Brownstone Packed With Detail and a Petite Brick Townhouse

This week, the most viewed listings on Brownstoner included an Italiante brownstone in Clinton Hill, an offbeat brick townhouse in Prospect Lefferts Gardens, and a prewar condo in Park Slope.

There were multiple listings this week in Park Slope and Clinton Hill. The least expensive home in the top 10 was a co-op in Brooklyn Heights for $799,000, and the most expensive was a newly built home in Clinton Hill at $4.25 million.

10. Here’s a stunner of a brownstone for you, a renovated four-story Italianate at 370 Washington Avenue in Clinton Hill that beautifully blends graceful original detail and modern updating. In the “graceful original detail” department we’ve got parquet floors, lovely marble mantels, and crown moldings.

8. This listing is a head-turner for more reasons than one. The house itself is a stunner — a painstakingly restored 1895 Renaissance Revival Bed Stuy brownstone loaded with original details and exquisite Victorian-style updating. And the sale will come as a shock to many — at 538 Decatur Street, it’s the home of a couple known to many Brownstoner readers.

7. This house at 140 Clinton Avenue in Wallabout sits next to a recent House of the Day — a temple-fronted Greek Revival — and the pair must offer a greater study in contrasts than any two side-by-side houses in Brooklyn. The Greek Revival dates back to 1835 and sports a quartet of Corinthian columns — this one is sleek, modern and brand new.

It’s a large one, 21 feet wide and four stories, which has been renovated, but retains original details including crown moldings, a tin ceiling and a tiered, mirrored mantel. As it stands, it’s split into double duplexes.

4. This home is a somewhat offbeat property, a squat, semi-detached two-story brick townhouse on Midwood Street in Prospect Lefferts Gardens. Dating to the 1920s, it’s a two-family currently set up as a three-bedroom single residence. There’s no floor plan and no interior photos; plenty of buyers interested in this one won’t care about either, as this seems a likely development site.
