Mediterranean Revival on the outside thanks to stucco and a Spanish clay-tile roof, on the inside it’s full of neo-Classical-meets-Arts-and-Crafts details such as columns and dentil molding.

8.On Carroll Gardens’ quirky cul de sac, Dennett Place, this compact charmer at No. 9 is as quaint as its one-block street. The house, which along with the rest of the workmen’s brick row most likely dates from the mid-19th century, boasts one of the strip’s identifying hobbit doors. Houses on the street show up on maps dating to the 1850s.

2. This freshly renovated four-story on Henry Street in Cobble Hill is not a mere brownstone but a “modern homage to the brownstone tradition.” Which is to say it’s been thoroughly updated with modern finishes, but retains some details including a marble mantel and the original staircase and balustrade (built by the house’s original owner “and his father,” the listing notes).

1. Here’s a bright Queen Anne specimen in Kingston, N.Y., that not only sports an eye-catching exterior but a pretty showy interior as well. The slightly quirky paint choice on the exterior may not prepare a viewer for the sheer amount of period unpainted woodwork on the interior. There’s fretwork, a gracious staircase, stained glass, mantels, pocket doors and window and door moldings.
