The Top 10 listings on Brownstoner this week included a modern townhouse in Williamsburg, a grand corner brownstone in Clinton Hill, and a condo in a Brooklyn Heights former hotel with a connection to Superman.

There were multiple popular listings this week in Williamsburg and Sunset Park. The least expensive home in the bunch was a brick fronted row home in East Williamsburg asking $1.35 million, and the priciest was the new townhouse, also in Williamsburg, asking $7.495 million.

Which would you choose?

10. In East Williamsburg we find a three-story row house with a brick front. This one is newly gut renovated, with an upper duplex and a rental in the English basement. That one’s an open “studio loft” with a tiled floor and a galley kitchen; the duplex above has an open plan living space and three bedrooms. It’s got a brick patio with some landscaping in the rear, zoned a/c and new mechanicals.

9. This newly built townhouse in Williamsburg offers top-end finishes, modern design and an expansive single-family living space, for the kind of big-ticket buyer that would have been a stranger to this nabe not long ago. It’s at 138 North 1st Street, off of Bedford Avenue. It’s got 4,800 square feet spread over five levels, spanned by an iron-railed staircase with a skylight at the top.

7. In Sunset Park on 51st Street, there’s a semi-detached three-story brownstone, which the listing describes as “a masterpiece.” Twenty feet wide, the house has an upper duplex, with three bedrooms and three full baths, and a garden rental, which is duplexed with a finished basement. The owner’s duplex has an open plan first floor, with recessed lighting, exposed brick accents, mod light fixtures, a kitchen with an island and copious white cabinetry.

6. Moving over to Sunset Park, on 48th Street we’ve got a two-family brownstone between 5th and 6th avenues. We don’t see a lot of these coming up for sale in this neck of the woods. This one’s a three-story — there’s no floor plan, but the listing describes the layout as follows: “3 bedrooms over 3 bedrooms and a bathroom on each of the three floors.”

5. On Greene Avenue in the Clinton Hill Historic District is a corner brownstone with a number of points of distinction. It’s got two addresses, for starters, with a separate entrance on Vanderbilt Avenue, leading to the lower duplex via the brick-walled back yard. It has an interesting pedigree — it was built circa 1878 and was the home of Brooklyn’s first Roman Catholic bishop, Bishop Louglin.

3. This home is on Stratford Road in Beverly Square West, and it’s a large, freestanding house. This one’s got six bedrooms and a front porch, and it needs a bit of work: some polishing, and a new kitchen and bathroom. Plenty of original detail in this one, including a pair of fireplaces, hardwood floors, pocket doors, stained glass, plaster medallions and lots of mahogany woodwork.

2. Here’s a two-bedroom spread in the Standish, the former apartment hotel at 171 Columbia Heights that’s being turned into ultra-expensive condos sporting East River views. The 12-story Beaux Arts building has an interesting history — Superman once lived here, for one thing. Designed by Frank S. Lowe and built in 1903, it was originally called the Standish Arms, which DC Comics fans will recognize as the name of the building where Clark Kent dwelled in Room 5H.

1. Here’s a Bed Stuy brownstone that’s newly renovated — and not by flippers. Some care and expense went into updating this one, a late 19th century Romanesque Revival that sits at 611 Macon Street, between Malcolm X Boulevard and Patchen Avenue. Twenty feet wide, it’s a two-family, with a one-bedroom rental on the garden level and a three-bedroom duplex above.
