In the Fort Greene Historic District, a classic Italianate brownstone has grand proportions, marble mantels, arched openings and recent updates. In the same hands for decades, the circa 1866 house is set up with two floor-through apartments over a duplex. A notable feature is a glass conservatory on the parlor level. (Building permits show a “Florida room” was added in 2000.) The landscaped rear yard has an in-ground jacuzzi.

A NeoGrec brownstone in Park Slope appears well kept inside and out, with plenty of fetching original details though it isn’t in the historic district. Outside is intricate ironwork and crisp brownstone; inside is fancy plasterwork, whimsical woodwork, a slate mantel and modern wet rooms. Owned by a well-known Brooklyn architect, the two-family is set up as a single-family. The landscaped backyard has a bluestone patio and two decks.

In the Crown Heights North Historic District, a grand 1890s limestone drips with extensive woodwork and other ornament, though it also has a partial vacate notice, violations and needs work. A multifamily with at least seven apartments (and a certificate of occupancy for 10, according to the listing), the townhouse comes with wainscoting, fretwork, wood mantels, coffered and tin ceilings and stained glass. The impressive entry has its own mantel as well as a built-in seat, parquet floor and coffered ceilings. Some of the photos have been altered to show fantasy alterations such as a swimming pool in the cellar, while other photos show conditions such as open probe tranches in ceilings supported by temporary braces.

In South Slope, a wood-frame Italianate has a mix of historic detail and updates. Set up as a single-family, the circa 1860s house has a fairly intact parlor level with high ceilings and deeply rounded moldings typical of the era. An original staircase with round newel post and curving mahogany banister leads to the upper level with two large bedrooms and one small one. The garden floor has been opened up and modernized with a u-shaped kitchen, exposed beams and areas for dining and lounging. Other features include tin ceilings, air conditioning, and a backyard shed with electricity.
