Which would you choose?

10. If this landmarked, Axel Hedman-designed Park Slope limestone looks familiar it may be because it’s been kicking around the market for a good while — nearly a decade, in fact. At 524 3rd Street in the Park Slope Historic District, the house appeared as a House of the Day six years ago, in a post noting how it’d gone unsold for nearly three years.

9. Here’s a rare chance to own a piece of one of Brooklyn’s most distinctive rows: a Queen Anne house with exotic terra-cotta ornamentation and other standout features at 53 Linden Street in Bushwick. If you’re looking for similar splendor within, you’ll be disappointed, sadly: the place has been gut renovated, though a pair of lovely stained glass window transoms still grace the parlor floor living room.

8. Moving over to Williamsburg, we’ve got a three-story brick row house on North 9th Street, which the listing claims dates back to 1871. This one’s small (just under 17 feet wide and 35 feet deep) and some of the ceilings look fairly low, but it’s got some charm to it, and a fine location. Condition looks good for the most part, though the listing suggests you “bring your architect and/or designer.”

7. Here’s a formidable house, an elegant Colonial Revival with an Ionic-columned porch that’s been modernized and restored, with loads of original millwork and stained glass windows. Dating to 1899, it’s on Marlborough Road in the Prospect Park South Historic District. It’s a vast one, with six bedrooms, a 200-foot lot with a two-car garage and a sprawling ground floor.

6. This prewar one-bedroom co-op is attractive, with double exposures and a nice view overlooking the Brooklyn Botanic Garden from the bedroom. It’s on the 13th floor of Turner Towers, the 1926 Art Deco building at 135 Eastern Parkway. There’s a generous living/dining space — 280 square feet — with high, beamed ceilings, herringbone floors and decorative wall moldings.

5. On East 16th Street in Ditmas, we find a wood-frame house circa 1900, whose facade was brick veneered at some point, though the cornice remains. This one’s a bit of an eyesore, with an interior that ranges from drab to worse than drab. So there’s plenty of work in store for the buyer. Not much detail to speak of, though there are some original wood floors, crown moldings on the top floor and a mid-20th-century fireplace.

4. The next one is a three-story brick townhouse on Dean Street in Crown Heights, with an apartment on each floor and a finished cellar. Speaking of broker stretches, the listing puts the house in “excellent move-in condition,” although the front hallway cries out for a paint job and the pictured kitchens lack refrigerators or stoves.

3. In Cypress Hills, we find a semi-detached wood-frame Queen Anne with a front porch on Elton Street. It’s a three-story, 22 feet wide, with an upper duplex over a parlor-floor rental. It comes out to around 2,600 square feet not counting the cellar, according to the listing. The place needs considerable work, though there’s some original detail to be found.

2. This three-story brownstone with a large front garden at 26 3rd Place in Carroll Gardens is on the market for the first time since 1961, and if that leads you to suspect some updating is in order you wouldn’t be off base. There’s plenty of cosmetic work to be done and likely more besides; the listing puts it in “estate condition.”

1. “Girls” star Jemima Kirke is unloading her Carroll Gardens townhouse, and it’s an eye-catcher with a style that’s a match for her character on the HBO show: romantic, bohemian and unpredictable. Kirke picked up the house in 2013 and subsequently had it overhauled by architect Richard H. Lewis, the design force behind Balthazar and Tavern on the Green.
