The housing market continues to hum as we hit mid-September, and as is our habit this time of the week we’ve got four choice open houses for you to consider. A varied bunch, this one, which includes a renovated frame house, a classic brownstone, a quirky brick number and a freestander with an above-ground pool. Points on the map include Bed Stuy, Clinton Hill, Gowanus and Marine Park.

First up, a 23.75-foot-wide frame Italianate with a mansard roof, arch-topped dormers and columned front porch on Classon Avenue in Clinton Hill. The listing calls it 150 years old, which sounds right on the nose. It’s fully renovated, with modern elements alongside a fair amount of original detail, including marble mantels, mirrors and tin ceilings. It’s set up as a duplex over a one-bedroom rental. There are four bedrooms and three baths all told, along with a backyard with a wood deck and brick patio, and laundry in the basement.

Next up, a three-story brownstone on MacDonough Street in Bed Stuy, which dates back to 1891, according to the listing. It could use a bit of work but overall it looks to be in pretty good shape, with original details including wainscoting, crown moldings, pocket doors, fireplace mantels and wood floors. There’s a garden rental and a two-bedroom upper duplex, which has an upper deck and access to the yard via a spiral staircase.

On 14th Street in Gowanus, we’ve got an offbeat property, a three-story brick house with a measure of rustic charm that’s a mere 15 feet wide, on a largely industrial block. All the floors are open, with a kitchen/dining space on the bottom, a living room with exposed brick walls on the ground floor and a single large bedroom and bath upstairs, which the listing notes could be converted into a two-bedroom space. There’s a nice yard with a brick patio and planting beds in the back; beyond that is a separate studio of 141 square feet, which be an artist’s studio or used for various other purposes.

Last up is a freestanding early 20th century Dutch Colonial-style single-family with a gambrel roof and front lawn on Marine Parkway in Marine Park. Plenty of acreage to this one, which sits on a 3,100-square-foot lot with a driveway, a detached garage, and a backyard with an above-ground pool. Condition looks good, and there are original parquet floors and a charming green-and-black tiled vintage bathroom, but some updating is needed, in the kitchen and elsewhere. Space is ample, with five bedrooms (two of them slope-ceilinged top-floor numbers), three floors and a finished basement with a full bath and a separate entrance.
