Which would you choose?
10. This Dumbo loft, in a converted warehouse at 185 Plymouth Street, is giant, with 13.5-foot ceilings and nearly 3,000 square feet of space. It’s awfully nice as well, with exposed timber beams and posts, massive windows, and a view that takes in the Manhattan Bridge, the river and the city skyline.

9. In our top 10 list three weeks in a row now, this Windsor Terrace condo has two bedrooms, two bathrooms, an open floor plan, and windows in every room. But the biggest selling point may be the outdoor space, which nearly matches the whole apartment in square footage, with a private roof deck and two terraces.
1103 Prospect Avenue #3D
Price: $1.2 million
Area: Windsor Terrace

8. Next up, a listing over in Brownsville, a locale that does not see packs of open-house goers on the average Sunday. It’s another flip, which means it demands nothing of the buyer — everything is new here, baths and kitchen included. It’s a three-bedroom duplex with one and a half baths; there’s also a finished basement with a full bath. There’s a fenced backyard and a parking space in the front.

Price: $499,000

7. Sitting on a 40-by-100-foot lot, this Midwood house is 22 by 52 feet. So there’s a lot of room to play with. That includes a living room, dining room, eat-in kitchen and a pair of sitting rooms — including a nice sun room in the front — on the lower floor. Up the center staircase are four bedrooms, two of them huge. The master opens up onto a front balcony. Only one bathroom up here, though. There’s also a finished section in the basement, with classic faux-wood paneling. Note also the lawn jockey, a feature we don’t see every day.
2218 Avenue M
Price: $1.395 million
Area: Midwood

6. In Boerum Hill on Wyckoff Street is a three-story brick home with a separate apartment on each floor. It looks to be in decent shape, but is low on character. So anyone looking to create a homey duplex or a triplex is going to have some work to do. Some nice original wide-plank floors though, and the house is 20 feet wide.
179 Wyckoff Street
Price: $2.395 million
Area: Boerum Hill

5. This Bed Stuy one-family, at 60 Monroe Street, has a feature not often found in a Brooklyn townhouse — a double-height library, rising from the middle of the basement floor. Set above it, reachable via a floating staircase, is a second-floor kitchen, with exposed steel ceiling beams. It makes for a distinctive home, and a fetching one in our view, though it’s not going to float everyone’s boat.

Price: $1.6 million
Area: Bed Stuy
Broker: Corcoran (Tricialee Riley)

4. Housed in a converted landmark church at 99 Clinton Street, this Brooklyn Heights two-bedroom is unique and striking, with its arches, 26-foot ceilings, stained glass, skylights and exposed stonework. It’s quite spacious as well, with 2,600 square feet and a vast open living space that stretches over multiple levels.
99 Clinton Street #9
Price: $6,900 a month

3. In West Midwood we’ve got a standalone Edwardian on Wellington Court, one of the cul-de-sac streets that butt up against the Q/B tracks. It’s been thoroughly renovated inside and out, by a flipper most likely. The exterior has loads of curb appeal with its red door and porch; the inside has been modernized and still has some charming details, such as stained-glass windows and a claw-foot tub.
28 Wellington Court
Price: $2.179 million

2. On 51st Street in Sunset Park is a brownstone flip job that’s been completely overhauled in a sleek, modern style. It’s got an owner’s duplex with three bedrooms, three full baths and an open plan parlor floor, and a three-bedroom garden unit that’s duplexed with a finished basement.
413 51st Street

1. On Union Street in Gowanus we’ve got a newly constructed townhouse that’s been in the works for quite a few years. Some money was sunk into this one, which has four bedrooms and four stories, plus a “roof cabana” with two decks and an enclosed wet bar with a wine closet and wine fridge. There are double-height ceilings on the bottom level; bells and whistles include a high-performance heating and cooling system with zoned climate control, closed circuit security cameras, remote controlled solar shades on the double-height windows and an iPad-controlled audio system.
467 Union Street
Price: $3.2 million
Area: Gowanus
