Top 10 Brooklyn Real Estate Listings: Bed Stuy vs. Hudson, N.Y.

A townhouse in Bed Stuy or a homey cottage in Hudson, N.Y.? This week’s listings are mostly split between the popular Brooklyn nabe and the Upstate haven known for its quaint, walkable downtown.

Which would you choose? If you’re in the market for a vacation home, perhaps both.

10. This two-bedroom co-op, in the Flatbush enclave of Fiske Terrace, is attractive, nicely laid out and fairly spacious at 1,200 square feet, with two good-sized bedrooms. In a prewar building on Avenue H, it’s got a bit of detail, and a renovated kitchen and bath.

9. This home’s current owners live in half of the cottage and rent out the other half over Airbnb. Both sections have private entrances, with the main duplex in the front. But the home can easily be reconfigured back into a single-family.

8. This sweet three-bedroom, two-bath cottage on a double lot has been updated with baseboard heating and a bright cook’s kitchen. But the home still has its original wide-plank floors and old-timey charm. The master bedroom also has its own porch on the front — perfect for enjoying a morning cup of coffee.

7. On Louis Place, not far from Atlantic Avenue, we find a semi-detached two-family house next to a vacant lot. This one’s got a three-bedroom lower duplex for the owner and a two-bedroom apartment above. The finishes are more basic, but as with the previous ones, everything is new, including the bricked-in rear patio.

1. Our top listing of the week is a brownstone on Van Buren Street in Stuy Heights that is “way cooler than anything you’ve seen till now,” according to the livelier-than-average listing copy. It’s no average gut job, either: The kitchen has marble counters, brass pendent lights, tile laid in a herringbone pattern, and a Bertazzoni range.
