In Bed Stuy, an 1870s brick Italianate in the Bedford Stuyvesant/Expanded Stuyvesant Heights Historic District has some original interior details remaining, including six mantels, and a more recent renovation. It’s set up as an owner’s duplex with two rental units above, although city records disagree about whether it is a two- or three-family. The duplex has two bedrooms on the garden level, with living, dining and kitchen on the parlor floor. The renovated kitchen has white slab-front cabinets and a metal countertop. A glass door from the adjoining dining room provides access to the landscaped rear yard with built-in seating, planting beds and a playhouse.

Also in Bed Stuy but in the historic district, this under 17-foot-wide two-family has lost some of the detail shown in the historic tax photo but still has its mansard roof in place. Set up as a two-family with an owner’s triplex and a top floor rental, the circa 1870s house got a thorough renovation by the designer owner. The triplex has an open plan great room on the garden level, with living, dining and kitchen, built-ins, exposed brick and a wall of glass. The latter opens to the rear yard, which is enclosed with a horizontal fence.

In the Crown Heights North II Historic District, this early 20th century Renaissance Revival row house was designed by Brooklyn’s Axel Hedman. The two-family hasn’t changed hands in decades and while the wet rooms haven’t been recently renovated, they look in good repair. There is a wealth of woodwork, some of it painted, including mantels, pocket doors, wainscoting and a pier mirror. A new owner might want to tweak the floor plan of the owner’s unit, whose parlor level is cut up into multiple bedrooms and sitting rooms.
