Top 10 Brooklyn Real Estate Listings: A Modern Brownstone and a Roomy Co-op

The most popular listings on Brownstoner this week include a two-bedroom condo in Park Slope, a stately house in Fort Greene and a Cobble Hill brownstone with modern updates.

There are multiple popular listings in Park Slope and Bed Stuy, with other listings scattered across the borough. The least expensive is a two-family brick house in Bed Stuy at $899,000 and another brick house, this one in Brooklyn Heights, is the most expensive at $8.3 million.

Which would you choose?

10. In Bed Stuy, we find a four-story brownstone on Jefferson Avenue. This one was gut renovated at some point, with no original detail spared, and some uninspiring finishes installed. Perhaps it’s time for another full-on renovation — or, this could serve as an investment property. There’s no floor plan and very little info, so the layout is uncertain.

9. On Malcolm X Boulevard in Bed Stuy is a two-story, two-family brick number with upper and lower front porches. The two interior photos show only the front hallway, which it’s fair to say has not been impeccably maintained. Going by that, it doesn’t seem a leap to assume this one’s going to need extensive work. The listing claims “lots of original detail,” however.

8. The next one’s on Carlton Avenue in Fort Greene; it’s a stately house with a center staircase and some choice details, including crown moldings, wide-plank floors and marble mantels. The layout’s a bit unorthodox: there’s an upper triplex and a lower duplex that split the parlor floor. There’s a second floor deck for the duplex, from which you can access the deep, brick-patio’d yard.

7. This stunning three-bedroom condo sits in one of the Slope’s most distinctive properties — the Tracy Mansion, a neo-Classical marble palazzo built in 1912 for a tugboat mogul at 105 8th Avenue. Designed by Frank J. Helme, who was behind many a distinguished Brooklyn structure, including the Hotel Bossert and the Prospect Park Boathouse, it’s got quite the grand facade.

6. On Clinton Street in Brooklyn Heights is a deluxe brick row house. At 22 feet wide and four stories, this one’s huge, detailed and beautifully restored and updated. There are three working fireplaces, six bedrooms, two family rooms, a living room, two decks, two laundry areas — even two wine refrigerators, including a 200-bottle one in the basement.

5. Here’s an interesting one — a 19th century, semi-detached Queen Anne style mansion with an SRO designation, an oversized lot and a split level carriage house in the rear. A three-story with a gabled roof, an Ionic-columned front porch and a brick and brownstone facade, it sits at 669 Saint Marks Avenue in Crown Heights, where it was built in 1891, according to the listing.

4. The listing doesn’t show much of this four-story Park Slope brownstone, and we suspect some work may be in store for the next owner. But there are details to restore and potential to unlock here — “here” being 142 Lincoln Place in the Park Slope Historic District. The house dates back to 1888, when it was built as the middle house of a row of three Neo-Grec brownstones.

3. This four-bedroom Park Slope co-op is airy and graceful, with original details and a newly renovated kitchen. It occupies the upper two floors of a North Slope brownstone, at 127 Park Place, near Flatbush Avenue, in the Park Slope Historic District. The living area offers nice high ceilings for an upper floor, along with archways in the front and rear.

2. This two-bedroom condo in the South Slope offers floor-to-ceiling windows in the living room and master bedroom, a deeded parking space and low monthly charges. It’s in the Vue, the 10-story condo building at 162 16th Street, which was completed in 2008. There are cherry floors, a kitchen with a white wraparound counter and a glass wall in the living room.

1. This freshly renovated four-story on Henry Street in Cobble Hill is not a mere brownstone but a “modern homage to the brownstone tradition.” Which is to say it’s been thoroughly updated with modern finishes, but retains some details including a marble mantel and the original staircase and balustrade (built by the house’s original owner “and his father,” the listing notes).
