Top 10 Brooklyn Real Estate Listings: From Palatial to Petite

The most popular listings on Brownstoner this week include a five-unit limestone in Crown Heights, a Bed Stuy brownstone packed with original details and modern East New York townhouse.

There were a couple of popular listings in Brooklyn Heights but otherwise listings were all over the borough this week, from East New York to Williamsburg.The least expensive of the bunch is a co-op in Sunset Park for $400,000 and the two Brooklyn Heights houses were tied as the most expensive at $4.995 million.

Which would you choose?

10. Here’s a chance to own a remarkable house and a piece of Brooklyn history. It’s the Federal clapboard frame house that’s regularly cited as the oldest house in Brooklyn Heights, dating back to the early 19th century — circa 1829 by many an estimate. It’s fabled enough that its listing could feature pull quotes like those used in movie ads: “The queen of Brooklyn Heights houses!”

Price: $4.995 million
Area: Brooklyn Heights
Broker: Corcoran (Jessica Buchman, Bryan Rettaliata)

9. This one-bedroom Sunset Park co-op is pretty tiny, but it’s attractive, has low monthly charges and sits across the street from Sunset Park, with views of the park from the bedroom and living room. It’s in a self-managed prewar building with 69 units. The view might be considered something of a mixed blessing: seeing those trees is a nice perk, but you’re on the first floor.

8. Not exactly palatial, this early 20th century brick row house at 343 79th Street in Bay Ridge does have a coveted Brooklyn amenity — a garage. It also appears to be in excellent condition and retains many of its original Craftsman details. From the street, the house is attractive, with a front porch supported by simple Doric columns.

7. This Italianate row house in the Brooklyn Heights Historic District at 31 Cranberry Street has a top-of-the-line renovation that’s not particularly recent, comforts such as central air, and a traditional look but not a lot of actual historic detail (or at least it’s not pictured). It’s built in a style old-house geeks may know as Anglo-Italianate.

6. Bright and attractive, this Williamsburg duplex co-op has a small terrace and low maintenance. It’s on the third floor of a six-unit walk-up built in 2003, at 395 South 2nd Street. The double-height living room is the most striking feature, with 14-foot ceilings, tall windows and an open wooden staircase.

4. Here’s a modern East New York townhouse. This three-bedroom home on Shepherd Avenue is a post-war home, possibly dating from the 1960s, but appears to be well kept. The listing says it is a two-family being used as a single-family. The lower level of the home has a separate entrance and could be used as a rental unit or kept as a rec room or other bonus space.

3. Out in Red Hook, we have a modern renovation of a wood-frame home. This four-bedroom single-family row house on Dikeman Street has loads of high-end finishes. The kitchen is decked out with a Viking range and Sub-Zero fridge; the living room has a working fireplace and sliding doors that open to the backyard; the four bedrooms are on the top floor.

2. Here’s large Neo-Grec brownstone on Greene Avenue in Bed Stuy loaded with details including fireplace mantels, plaster medallions, etched glass, original wood floors and a pier mirror. The home has an owner’s duplex, with bedrooms on the garden floor and two one-bedroom units above. There aren’t photos of the kitchens or the bathrooms so it’s not clear how much attention they need.

Despite containing five units, the home appears to have maintained many of its original details including wood floors, arched beams and some fireplace mantels.
