5 Prewar and Victorian Rentals Dripping in Charm, Starting at $1,695 a Month

These five rentals all boast prewar and Victorian details and charm, from their white marble fireplaces to their hardwood shutters. All are bright and airy, with a fair number located in townhouses or boasting outdoor space.

Their prices range significantly (as do their square footage and bedroom counts), with the most affordable unit, a one-bedroom, asking $1,695 a month and the most expensive, a four-bedroom, going for $7,200 a month.

With the exception of one unit in Sheepshead Bay, all of the apartments are located squarely in brownstone Brooklyn, in the neighborhoods of Brooklyn Heights and Park Slope.

Which one would you choose?

First up is a sprawling Brooklyn Heights apartment with deep moldings, original shutters, and a white marble Neo-Grec mantel. The three-bedroom, 1.5-bath unit also has high ceilings, hardwood floors, an in-unit washer/dryer, and a private backyard with a deck. Located in a townhouse on much-beloved Joralemon Street, the apartment also has a generously sized kitchen.
