Open House Picks: Park Slope to Canarsie

With Labor Day in the rear-view mirror it’s house-hunting time again, with open houses no longer in short supply. Our picks this week are three multimillion-dollar townhouses in varying states in Park Slope and Fort Greene — plus a budget number that’s selling in Canarsie for $349,000.

In Park Slope we’ve got a three-story brownstone on 4th Street that’s in move-in condition, with updated mechanicals. A legal two-family set up as a one-family, it’s got triple bay windows, a triple parlor, and the all-important wine cellar.

Original details include woodwork, fireplaces and light fixtures. (There’s an interesting price history on this one: It came on the market in April at its current price, then dropped to $3,090,000 at the end of June, then went back up about six weeks later.)

Our other Park Slope pick, on Carroll Street between 4th and 5th avenues, has similar specs. It’s also a three-story, and a two-family being used as a one-family, and it’s also in move-in shape. It lacks the details, though, but the renovated interior might appeal to those who prefer a more modern style of townhouse living.

Our Fort Greene pick, a four-story brownstone at 306 Clermont Avenue, is a bring-your-contractor deal — it needs a full renovation. It’s full of original details and grand, high-ceilinged spaces though, so there’s no shortage of potential.

Last up, in Canarsie, we’ve got a decidedly more modest offering, but with a decidedly more modest price tag. It’s a two-story, single-family brick townhouse with two bedrooms, two bathrooms and a finished basement. And it’s got something our big-ticket homes don’t: a driveway with parking for two cars.
