The most popular listings on Brownstoner this week include a Park Slope manse overflowing with details, the former home of a movie-studio executive in New Rochelle and a Bay Ridge co-op with views of the Verrazano Bridge.

Listings in Brooklyn were scattered all over the borough this week, from Bay Ridge to Brooklyn Heights. The least expensive listing is a Bed Stuy rental at $3,600 a month and the most expensive a Park Slope townhouse for $4 million.

Which would you choose?

10. The suburbs were booming in the early 20th century and the moneyed set had no lack of places to find newly built mansions to rest their wearied souls from the bright lights of New York. Joining their ranks was Wykagyl Park on the northern edges of New Rochelle. The quirky Mediterranean style house at 58 Croft Terrace was built circa 1929.

9. Here’s a Bed Stuy brownstone that’s been redone, with restored original details alongside modern appointments like spa-style baths and a floating staircase. A turn-of-the-century number that stands 18 feet wide, it sits on Madison Street, just off Marcus Garvey Boulevard. It’s got a triplex over a lower rental, which holds two diminutive bedrooms and includes a finished cellar.

8. Here’s a nice-looking duplex in a Bed Stuy townhouse, with three bedrooms and a deck. It’s the upper two floors of a three-story Neo-Grec brick house that sits on Monroe Street. Photos are few and show none of the upstairs, but the parlor floor looks bright and pleasant. Floors are new and there’s some original detail, including a mantel, arched niche and newel post.

7. This landmarked Park Slope manse, on a park block at 596 2nd Street, has some stunning original detail and a ton of space. One of a row of 26 eclectic houses designed by the prolific Brooklyn architect Benjamin Driesler, it was built in 1903. The house is set up as a double duplex, a setup that’s not without its bugs.

6. Here’s a move-in ready two-bedroom co-op in Bay Ridge whose most distinctive feature is an octagonal living room with views of the waterfront and the Verrazano Bridge. It’s on Shore Road, once home to many a grand one-family residence, now dominated by prewar buildings like this one, which was built in 1940.

5. Here’s a barrel-fronted one-family townhouse that’s flush with original details, and will be a stunner with a little sprucing up. It’s at 67 Rutland Road in the Prospect Lefferts Gardens Historic District. The listing for the 1893 house offers no info except a promise of details to come, but photos are plentiful.

4. In Downtown Brooklyn, we find a two-bedroom with two baths on Livingston Street. The 300-unit 1925 building was converted 10 years ago, and the place still looks new-ish. It’s a bit flavorless, but there’s a nice modern kitchen with a granite-topped breakfast bar, a Viking stove and a Sub-Zero fridge. There’s a decent-sized master bedroom with a walk-in shower in the master bath.

3. Here we have a two-bed, two-bath number with an open kitchen on Columbia Heights in Brooklyn Heights, right on the promenade. This one’s a bit of character, with prime East River/skyline views from the living room, which has double exposures, herringbone floors and ample space. The master’s got closet space and an en suite bath.

2. In Sunset Park, on 43rd Street between 8th and 9th avenues is a two-bedroom of 850 square feet on the third floor of one of the neighborhood’s self-managed Finnish co-op buildings. This one could use some updating, including kitchen and bath upgrading and floor refinishing. The bedrooms are smallish and on the opposite end of the unit from the sole bathroom.

Layout wise, this one’s as straightforward as they come, with a living room, small kitchen, single bath and bedroom, totaling 640 square feet. The living room’s fairly large, with double exposures, picture-rail moldings and views of the park.
