Top 10 Brooklyn Real Estate Listings: A Bed Stuy Period Piece and a Narrow Townhouse

This week, the top 10 listings on Brownstoner included a detailed Bed Stuy brownstone, a renovated townhouse in Crown Heights and an Italianate brick house in Gowanus.

There were multiple popular listings this week in Bed Stuy and Park Slope. The cheapest listing was the aforementioned Crown Heights townhouse at $895,000. There was a two-way tie for the most expensive home – both the Italianate in Gowanus and a Romanesque Revival in Park Slope are listed at $2.795 million.

Which would you choose?

10. Here’s a Bed Stuy brownstone that’s loaded with period detail — most notably mantels. At 629 Putnam Avenue in Stuy Heights, the house has got seven of them, including some pretty ornate Queen Anne-type numbers with mirrors, carved wood and Minton-style tiles. The late Victorian house also sports wedding-cake plaster detailing, inlaid parquet floors, ceiling medallions, crown moldings and wainscoting.

9. Here’s a Romanesque Revival brick townhouse on a 26-foot lot with a garage and a driveway — a common enough commodity in the borough’s outer reaches but a rare find in Park Slope a stone’s throw from Prospect Park. Located at 441 14th Street in the Park Slope Historic District, the house seems to need considerable work, though the listing is short on details.

8. On Putnam Avenue in Bushwick, we’ve got a three-story flip that’s been completely overhauled, from its brick facade to its wood-fenced rear garden. A bit of care seems to have gone into this one, which has some details like recessed ceilings and inlaid floors. It’s set up as a two-family, with a two-bedroom rental on the garden level (duplexed with a finished cellar) and a three-bedroom owner’s duplex above.

7. Moving over to Bed Stuy, we’ve got a four-story brownstone on Jefferson Avenue in Stuyvesant Heights. It’s a three-family, with a lower duplex and floor-through apartments above. Plenty of period details in this one, including plaster detailing, five decorative fireplaces, pocket doors and shutters, crown moldings, wainscoting and carved wood door and window casings.

6. Here’s a condo that veers off the beaten path. If you’re bored with exposed brick and ceiling beams and cookie-cutter finishes, take a gander at this South Slope duplex, whose interior design looks to have been inspired by Gaudí, or maybe Lewis Carroll. It’s at 372 15th Street in the Park Pavilion condos, one of three buildings with a combined 30 units, constructed in 2003.

5. This stop is Red Hook, where we find a brick, carriage-style house on King Street. It’s cozy and distinctive, with some interesting features, including a garage space that’s currently used as an art studio, a steel and oak staircase, a living room with 14-foot ceilings and a polished-concrete floor, a mezzanine-level laundry room, a treehouse-style master bedroom with a terrace.

4. Next up is a brownstone on Stuyvesant Avenue in Bed Stuy, in the Stuyvesant Heights Historic District, built circa 1882. It’s a narrow one, a mere 15 feet wide. The house has been updated, with finishes not every buyer is going to flip for; there are some original details, including three fireplace mantels, though the floors, sadly, have been replaced.

3. The next one’s on 8th Avenue in the South Slope, between Prospect Avenue and 17th Street. This one’s as narrow as they come — a mere 12 and a half feet wide. And it’s only got two floors plus a basement, so if you’ve got a large family, move along. More wide-plank floors in this one, along with exposed brick and an original stone mantel.

2. This home is a charming Italianate brick townhouse on Sackett Street in Gowanus, which dates to 1880 according to the listing. It’s 20 feet wide, but only 35 feet deep, so it’s not exactly cavernous, but it’s got an inviting interior, with wide-plank floors, arched door frames, ceiling medallions, crown moldings and marble mantels.

1. The top home this week is a two-story townhouse on Utica Avenue in Crown Heights, that looks to be newly renovated. It’s very narrow, some 15 feet wide. It’s got three bedrooms on the upper floor, two quite small (one’s a mere six feet wide). There’s a living room, dining room and kitchen on the lower level, with an extra room in the rear that could be an office.
