Brooklyn Real Estate Listings Six Months Later: One Sold, Three off the Market

This week, a look back at four of our featured listings from six months ago focuses on homes in Downtown Brooklyn, Ditmas Park, Prospect Heights and Windsor Terrace. How did they fare?

While not huge, this one-bedroom loft in an early 20th century Downtown Brooklyn commercial building has high ceilings and big wraparound windows, as well as an appealing country style kitchen. The minimalist white interior is punctuated by custom maple closets. The striking kitchen has a black and white checkerboard floor, wood shelves and cabinets, dishwasher and beverage fridge. The corner unit is located on the 10th floor of 96 Schermerhorn Street, an Art Deco building with touches of Gothic. This former Co-op of the Day was taken off the market this month.

In the Ditmas Park Historic District, this estate-condition bungalow built in 1916 is a “blank canvas” that will need a “total gut renovation,” according to the listing, which does not show any interior photos. In the same family since the 1960s, the standalone house has a broad, columned porch, four bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, extensive garden, driveway and two-car garage. This former Open House Pick sold in October for $1.44 million, which was $510,000 under the asking price.

The architect who once called this 1870s Prospect Heights brownstone home isn’t a 21st century starchitect, but 19th century Brooklynites who followed the building up of the borough would certainly have recognized his name. George L. Morse, a prolific architect behind the design of commercial structures, churches and residences, lived at 613 Carlton Avenue from its construction until his retirement to Connecticut around 1907. A legal two-family, the 20-foot-wide brownstone hasn’t been on the market since the 1990s. It is set up with a garden apartment and an owner’s triplex above. This former House of the Day was taken off the market in October.

In Windsor Terrace, this early 20th century row house close to Prospect Park is swimming in pristine original woodwork and other original details and also has an extensive high-end renovation that includes a Henrybuilt kitchen. A legal two-family used as a single-family, 277 Windsor Place also has a fair amount of space, including six bedrooms and a sunny six-sided glass and wood conservatory. Inside, there is a kitchen and living room (originally a dining room) on the garden level, bedrooms tucked into the rear of the parlor level and more bedrooms above. This former House of the Day was taken off the market in September.
