Which would you choose?

10. This century-old Georgian Revival townhouse at 301 Caton Avenue in Windsor Terrace boasts an original detail that was highly unusual when it was built in 1915. Other charming original details include beautiful inlaid and parquet floors, the original Arts and Crafts style staircase, a bay window, and 1930s-style rounded archways and built-ins.

9. This early 20th century frame house at 387 East 5th Street in Kensington has some appealing features. It has stately painted columns framing the entrance to the open living and dining areas on the main floor. The inlaid wood floors on the main and second floors appear to be in pristine condition. And for its size — 2,130 square feet — it squeezes in an awful lot: five bedrooms and three full baths.

7. This Romanesque Revival brownstone at 453 MacDonough Street in eastern Bed Stuy might need some work, but the basics are there for this to be a tremendous home. The parlor and garden floors are chock full of woodwork, including elaborate fretwork in the entry and over one of the doors, wainscoting, a large built-in in the rear parlor and at least one original mantel.

6. This listing is a head-turner for more reasons than one. The house itself is a stunner — a painstakingly restored 1895 Renaissance Revival Bed Stuy brownstone loaded with original details and exquisite Victorian-style updating. And the sale will come as a shock to many — at 538 Decatur Street, it’s the home of a couple known to many Brownstoner readers and Bed Stuy residents who are restoring or renovating houses.
