This week’s Top 10 listings on Brownstoner included an 1878 Gothic row house in the coveted Warren Place Mews, a brownstone with details in Bed Stuy, and a townhouse in Crown Heights sporting a rare double-height kitchen.

The cheapest home of the bunch was a co-op in Fort Green asking $699,000, and the most expensive was the Park Slope abode of John Krasinski and Emily Blunt, asking $8 million.

Which one would you choose?

10. Here’s an 1850s transitional Greek RevivalItalianate style townhouse in prime shape, which offers a spacious owner’s triplex with plenty of original details over a garden rental. It’s in the Fort Greene Historic District at 346 Carlton Avenue between Lafayette and Greene avenues, close to the Lafayette C train stop.

9. This home is an ultra-deluxe brownstone on Henry Street, in the Cobble Hill Historic District. It’s a one-family, fully renovated with the discerning (i.e., loaded) buyer in mind. There’s some choice restored original detail, including crown moldings, an entry mirror and several marble mantels. There’s a beaut of a kitchen with custom walnut cabinetry, a panel-doored SubZero fridge, a Wolf range and a giant picture window overlooking the garden.

8. This one-bedroom Fort Greene co-op is attractive and has ample space, a renovated kitchen and a private entrance with a front garden. It’s on the first floor of the Griffin, a 1931 building with 204 units, at 101 Lafayette Avenue. To get the biggest negative out of the way: nobody’s going to call it light-flooded. The only sources of sunlight are a sliver of a kitchen window and a glassed door and window in the bedroom. Consider that said glassed door faces the street and that one might well want to cover it for privacy and the picture gets darker still.

7. Here’s a prime specimen of a Park Slope brownstone, elegant, spacious and move-in ready. Dating to 1891 and designed by Rudolf L. Daus, according to the listing, it sits at 426 4th Street, where it cuts a fine figure from the street, with a generous stoop and an angled facade that’s complemented by the curved front of the house next door.

6. Here’s a Park Slope limestone on a park block that’s flat-out gorgeous, packed with details and spruced up by a high-end architectural renovation. Oh, and the sellers are Hollywood stars — John Krasinski and Emily Blunt, as reported by the Wall Street Journal and subsequently many another outlet. The house is loaded with original detail in peak condition, including mantels, a pier mirror, stained glass windows, wood paneling, and inlaid floors.

5. This Bed Stuy brownstone needs work and may come with other issues as well, but its original details are intact and awaiting someone ready to take on a restoration project. It’s at 596 MacDonough Street, between Ralph and Howard avenues.

4. This home is a flip on Lincoln Place in Crown Heights, which was bought in February and completely overhauled. An unorthodox layout on this one, which has a three-bedroom triplex with a double-height ceiling spanning the rear of the garden and parlor levels, with the kitchen in the rear of the garden level and a studio apartment in the front. The reno features a lot of exposed brick, white oak herringbone floors, wooden railings, and a master bedroom with a copper clawfoot tub by the window.

3. In Crown Heights, we find a four-story tan brick and limestone number on Bergen Street, in the Crown Heights North Historic District. This one delivers in the original detail department, with mirrors, tiled mantels, crown moldings, wainscoting, mahogany millwork and more. Maybe parquet floors as well, though at the moment whatever’s there is covered with carpet. It all looks to be in decent shape, as far as what’s pictured, though there’s work to be done here — the listing makes that clear.

2. This one is a three-story on MacDonough Street in Bed Stuy, which is having its first showing. Renovated but not a flip, the house is a three-family, with an apartment on each floor. It offers some bright, high-ceilinged spaces, with original details including mantles, moldings and fretwork. A nice quirk here is that the middle of the house gets some sunlight due to an interior courtyard between this house and the adjoining one, according to the listing, which asserts that the mechanicals “have been well-maintained.”

1. This home is one of the highly coveted mews houses on Warren Place in the Cobble Hill Historic District. Need we say more? Actually there’s not a whole lot more we can say based on photo evidence, but the listing tells us the 1878 house has been renovated within the last seven years, with new windows, a heating/cooling system, new mechanicals, upgraded electric and plumbing, a repointed facade and Viking appliances. It’s a small one, as these houses are, with three stories — two bedrooms on the top, double parlor in the middle and kitchen/dining room below. There are four working marble fireplaces and a landscaped cobblestone patio.
