It’s almost Thanksgiving, which means this weekend is your last chance to tour open houses before the torpor of the real estate market during the holiday season sets in. Three — in Boerum Hill, Prospect Lefferts Gardens, and Cypress Hills — are in move-in condition and one, in Bed Stuy, is a fixer-upper. They range from painstakingly staged to as-is, with asks from $3.4 million to $859,000. All have appealing historic detail.

First, in Boerum Hill, a classic Italianate four-story, red brick townhouse with mansard roof and dormers is set up as a single-family and features four bedrooms, 2.5 baths, and a renovated kitchen that looks onto the garden. The details make it worth a look, including white marble mantels, original pocket doors and shutters, floor-to-ceiling windows and original pine plank flooring.

Next up, a recently renovated circa 1900 neo-Federal townhouse, also a single-family, has a raised front terrace, red brick facade with bay windows, a mansard roof with dormers, and a sizable terrace in the rear over an extension. The update includes a very white U-shaped kitchen with custom cabinets, Carrara marble countertops, and appliances by Wolf, Liebherr and Bosch, as well as new electric and plumbing and an ultra-efficient hot-water central heat and air system controllable by NEST smart home technology.

Meanwhile in Bed Stuy, a duplex brownstone in need of tender loving care shows off exquisite cast-iron fireplaces, mantels, original wooden shutters, pocket doors, and skylights. It looks rough, but the woodwork in places is something to see.

Lastly, check out a classic circa 1900 brick bow front with nice details like diamond-patterned brickwork, bracketed cornices, wrought iron metalwork, and a columned porch in Cypress Hills. It’s a three-story, two-family townhouse with an updated kitchen on the backyard level, three bedrooms on the second story, and an apartment that can be rented out on the top floor.
