The most popular listings on Brownstoner this week include a Park Slope townhouse which once belonged to actress Jennifer Connelly, a freestanding house loaded with detail in Bay Ridge and an Italianate brick house in Fort Greene.

Listings in Park Slope were popular this week, with multiple listings in the neighborhood. The least expensive home of the group is actually a rental at $2,300 a month in Bed Stuy and the most expensive is the former Connelly townhouse asking $14.5 million.

Which would you choose?

10. This attractive Bed Stuy floor-through has generous spaces, high ceilings, a renovated kitchen and bathroom and no fee. It’s on the third floor of a brownstone at 256 Hancock Street. It’s a 1.5 bedroom, whose layout isn’t completely clear from the listing. In an ideal world that front room, with the fireplace (non-working, sadly) and the trio of bay windows overlooking the street, would be your living room, with the bedroom in the back.

9. Here’s a looker of a Bed Stuy brownstone that appears to be in good shape and full of original details. It’s at 740 Macon Street in the nabe’s eastern end, a half block from Saratoga Square Park. The photos aren’t the greatest, but they reveal a load of original detail: parquet floors, wainscoting, tin ceilings, crown moldings, plaster detailing, fretwork, the original entrance doors and numerous mantles.

8. This Park Slope two-bedroom is attractive and reasonably spacious, with a working fireplace and a shared roof deck. It’s on the third floor of a bay-fronted brick townhouse at 1017 8th Avenue, by the corner of 11th Street and a block from Prospect Park. The kitchen and bath are renovated, and the unit’s in good shape, with floors that look fairly new.

There are seven bedrooms, four baths, a renovated kitchen with dual Liebherr refrigerators and an 8-burner Viking range, a finished basement with a full bath, a private driveway and a garage.

6. This four-story Italianate brick townhouse on Clermont Avenue in Fort Greene is beautifully renovated within. It’s in a style not often seen within a 19th-century Brooklyn row house, one that’s modern and heavy on blond wood appointments and accents, with a seeming Japanese influence. It’s serene, distinctive and quite lovely. The house is a four-story with two rentals and a lower duplex.

5. One of Park Slope’s most luxe and talked-about townhouses is back on the market, for the second time in two years and the third in under a decade. That’d be the five-story 1899 limestone mansion at 17 Prospect Park West, formerly owned by the actress Jennifer Connelly, who lived there with hubby Paul Bettany from 2003 to 2008.

4. In Bed Stuy is a four-story brick townhouse with an angled front on Stuyvesant Avenue. There are no interior photos for this one, so what awaits within we can’t say. For that matter, there’s no floorplan, but we can tell you that it’s a three-family that’s 20 feet wide and 42 feet deep on a 100-foot-deep lot, built circa 1900. And it’s a fair bet we’re looking at more than skim coating and painting.

3. In East New York we find a circa-1900 three-story with a tan brick, barrel-front facade and a front porch. There aren’t any interior photos, so the condition remains a mystery. “Upgrades were added eight years ago,” according to the listing, which could mean any number of things; presumably more work is needed. That will likely include refiguring; right now the house is laid out as a two-family, with an apartment on each of the upper floors.

2. On Union Street in Park Slope, we find a brick four-story with a charming Queen Anne exterior. It’s exceptionally narrow — a mere 12 and a half feet wide — though it’s deep at 50 feet. It’s been renovated and modernized within, but some details remain, including tin ceilings and a brick fireplace. It’s laid out as a pair of two-bedroom duplexes; the lower one’s got a small deck off the rear bedroom.

1. The Victorian stand-alone is in Flatbush, out near Brooklyn College on Glenwood Road. It’s a big one, with six-plus bedrooms and an open-plan living/dining room that’s as big as a ballroom. In many ways, the interior condition doesn’t look too bad, but there’s plenty of work to be done, new floors being a glaring example. There are details including tin ceilings, stained glass and wainscoting.
