Brooklyn Open Houses -- Bed Stuy, Fort Greene, Midwood

No contractor specials this weekend — our open house picks are all in move-in condition. Beyond that common thread they’re a mixed bunch, including an elegant Fort Greene townhouse, a Bed Stuy flip, a detached home in East Midwood and a semi-detached three-bedroom in Bergen Beach.

On South Oxford Street in Fort Greene we’ve got a five-story house dating back to the 1880s. It’s been renovated, with original details left intact, including a mahogany center staircase, plaster moldings, four fireplaces (two working) and inlaid hardwood floors. There’s a massive four-bedroom quadplex for the owner and a one-bedroom garden rental. Lovely yard, which the owner can access from a parlor-level deck.

On Malcolm X Boulevard in Bed Stuy is a two-family brownstone that’s been thoroughly overhauled. It’s got an owner’s duplex with three bedrooms and a two-bedroom apartment below that’s duplexed with a finished basement. There’s an rear extension, which provides both a top-floor terrace and a fetching, bay-windowed sun room overlooking the garden on the parlor level.

Moving out to East Midwood, we’ve got a fully detached five-bedroom home with a private driveway. Ceilings are low, but it’s got some decent-sized spaces and original parquet floors, and it looks to be in good shape, though the kitchen could use an upgrade.

Last up, a three-bedroom semi-detached home on East 71st Street in Bergen Beach. The kitchen was recently redone with granite countertops and new appliances; it’s got a bank of floor-to-ceiling windows. The house has hardwood floors, laundry in the basement, a deck and a garage.

    • Randolph, You must stop taking your career as Mr. Uber Negative of Brownstoner so seriously. There is an opening in the Mr. Sweet Man of Brooklyn that you should apply for. You’re probably an old head, that is why you have time to always follow up for these posts so diligently as your lovely retirement check rolls in but you must try in 2016 to find another site to as the young folks call it “troll”. Look it up. Please don’t respond with something super pretentious. Luckily for me, I love Bed Stuy all parts of it even the ones that has issues and I love Brooklyn. God bless it and I hope that we have more positivity on here. It’s lovely to have COMMITTED READERS OF BROWNSTONER BUT READERS LIKE YOU MAKE THIS SPACE INTOLERABLE.

      • “Old head”, “retirement check” LOL I’m in my 30s and I have full time job. Posting asinine comments here does not take much time or effort. Sorry to say it but your assumptions about me are wildly off base.

        Anyway, I own a house in Bed Stuy that I am renovating and I am renting another house in Bed Stuy close to 111 Malcolm X Boulevard. In my opinion (this is a comments thread of a blog, where one normally posits an opinion just as you are in your super awesome critique of me) Malcolm X and Quincy is a crap part of the neighborhood and you can get something just as nice in a better location for that money.

        “God bless it and I hope that we have more positivity on here.” How about practicing what you preach? There sure is a lot of negativity and snark in your comment, and criticizing the tenor of another person’s comments is not really what this site is about. You may not like my comment about 111 Malcolm X but at least it is on topic.

        As for “COMMITTED READERS OF BROWNSTONER…” sadly I have been here way longer than you have, unless you changed your user name or something. and if i am so intolerable just ignore me, keep on reading as if randolph never happened. as far as i remember i have never directly engaged you about anything, how about extending the same courtesy?

        respectfully and without pretension-

        randolph
