Our Open House Picks from six months ago highlighted some renovated and new-construction houses that will appeal to those who favor condo-like finishes and move-in condition over original Victorian details. Three are in Bed Stuy, one is in Bushwick.

On Quincy Street in Bed Stuy is a four-story flip job, which is pretty nice as flips go. It’s got a four-bedroom triplex over a garden rental, with pluses including an original decorative fireplace, a finished basement, a video intercom and alarm system, and a kitchen tricked out with a Wolf range and a Sub-Zero fridge. The property sold for $1.889 million in March, $100,000 under its $1.989 million ask.

In the new-construction division, we’ve got a four-story at the eastern edge of Bushwick, on Evergreen Avenue, which mirror-images a second such house next door. This one’s a little more generic. It’s set up as a double duplex; the upper unit has a roof deck with a Manhattan view. The home sold in May after being briefly removed from the market in February. Its sale price has not yet hit public records and the broker was not immediately available for comment, but its last asking price was $1.399 million, an $196,000 reduction from its original $1.595 million ask.

Back to Bed Stuy, we’ve got another flip on Halsey Street — again, a nicer one than average. It’s got a three-bedroom owner’s duplex, with an open-plan parlor floor, with exposed brick and stained glass windows. Below is a two-bedroom garden rental. The property sold for $1,507,825 in May, $12,825 over its $1.495 million ask.

Last up, on Hancock Street in Bed Stuy, is another newly built residence — the listing calls it “renovated,” though with a new flat brick facade there’s little left of whatever was here before. At 4,400 square feet it’s the most modern-looking of the bunch, with some large open spaces, exposed brick walls, recessed lighting and floating staircases. For the owner there’s a four-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bath triplex with an upper deck; it sits above a two-bedroom rental and a finished basement. It sold in March for $1.49 million, $5,000 under its $1.495 million ask.
