The top listings this week leaned towards flips and homes that might need a little love from the right owner. Four of the ten even came from the same selection of Open House Picks from last Friday. The listing for Chloe Sevigny’s Park Slope co-op proved to still be popular with readers.

There were multiple listings in Bed Stuy, Bushwick and Park Slope, with Greenpoint, Prospect Heights, Ditmas Park and Fort Hamilton popping up as well. There was a wide price range in the most popular listings, starting with a Prospect Heights studio at $349,000 and going up to $2.785 million for a Park Slope townhouse.

Which would you choose?

10. Big and beauteous are two words that could fairly be applied to this prime Prospect Park South specimen, at 916 Albemarle Road. Especially big — the freestanding house has seven bedrooms, most of them huge, and 3,886 feet of interior space on a 50-by-120-foot lot.

9. Here’s a gut renovated 1870s Bed Stuy brownstone that’s not a flip — or doesn’t appear to be at least. If it is, the house — at 231 MacDonough Street, in the Stuyvesant Heights Historic District — is a good bit more attractive and thoughtfully done than average.

8. Actress Chloe Sevigny is selling the Classic Seven co-op she bought on Prospect Park West just over three years ago — and it’s a pretty smashing pad. At 9 Prospect Park West, it’s one of the most desirable prewar co-ops in Brooklyn — a massive and elegant spread that overlooks the park, classic with some modern touches.

7. Located in a prewar building at 125 Eastern Parkway in Prospect Heights, this studio co-op is attractive and newly renovated, with high ceilings and some nice original detailing. It hits the market at the same time as a similar apartment below, opening up the option to buy them both and create a duplex.

6. This red brick and brownstone 1880s townhouse, at 158 Berkeley Place in the Park Slope Historic District, offers some nice original details and some layout flexibility for those up for a little reconfiguring. Currently a two-family set up with double duplexes, the four-story house could be a renovated into a triplex over a rental or a grand single family with a little work.

5. Twenty feet wide and 55 feet deep, this home holds a pair of floor-through apartments, whose exact layout is unclear without a floor plan. There’s also an English basement, currently unfinished. Photos are few, and suggest some work is in order; there are original details though, including stained glass, a pier mirror, built-in cabinets, moldings and ceiling medallions.

4. A flip awaits on Jefferson Avenue in Bushwick. Also 20 feet wide and gut renovated, this one’s a three-story, with a two-bedroom garden rental. The listing references an owner’s triplex, which confuses given that there’s not a fourth story — there’s no floor plan to clear up the confusion.

3. This flip on Monroe Street in Bed Stuy has been gut renovated and everything’s new, including a finished basement. The 20-foot-wide house has a lower triplex with an open-plan living room and kitchen above, three bedrooms on the garden level and the finished basement below. There’s a duplex up top with five bedrooms, four on top and one sharing the lower level with the kitchen and living room. There’s exposed brick, recessed lighting, and a small deck in the back that leads down to the sparse backyard, which has been outfitted with a pair of concrete patios.

2. Here’s a highly livable Bay Ridge single-family that looks to be in move-in shape — digs that might well run upwards of $2 million in Park Slope or Cobble Hill. At 354 86th Street, it’s got a perk you’re unlikely to find in those hoods: an interior garage.

1. On Kent Street in Greenpoint, we find a sliver of a house, around 12 feet wide. Close to the Greenpoint Avenue G station, it’s a single family with three stories, holding three bedrooms, a living room, dining room and kitchen, and a small roof deck. There’s a bit of detail, including tin ceilings and a mantel; pictured floors are covered with linoleum or carpet. It’d benefit from some updating — “a perfect blank canvas,” the listing calls it.
