Top 10 Real Estate Listings in Brooklyn and Beyond: A Slew of Starter Homes

This week’s top listings aren’t all in Brooklyn — many are cute and affordable homes upstate in Kingston, N.Y., plus one in Queens — and many are in the starter-home-friendly price range of under $329,000. (Don’t worry: Some classic Brooklyn stunners made the list, too.)

Which would you choose?

10. This renovated two-bedroom co-op in Midwood has hardwood floors, custom closets, marble-covered radiators, and all-new kitchen appliances. The unit has plenty of light from its numerous windows, and the building was recently spruced up as well, with new elevators already in place, and a new roof and laundry room in the works.

9. This two-story, two-bedroom house is charming, with pine floors, a lovingly landscaped backyard and updated but vintage-style kitchen and baths. The home appears to be well maintained and doesn’t seem to require any work, although a prospective buyer might want to lose the dropped ceilings.

8. On 6th Avenue in Park Slope is a four-story townhouse with an angled bayed front, which has been in the same family for 59 years. It looks to be in quite good shape with the glaring exception of the floors, which perhaps have been covered by carpet, and are in serious need of refinishing. Baths and kitchen aren’t pictured, so updating may be in order there. It’s set up with two floor-through apartments over an owner’s duplex; the broker offers a second, suggested floor plan for one-family conversion.

5. Up in Jackson Heights, this generous one-bedroom co-op could easily be converted into a two-bedroom.

The apartment is a gut-renovated sponsor unit located on the ground floor of a doorman building that also offers parking.

3. Brooklyn homes don’t come any grander than this one. If Louis XIV was looking for a property in Brooklyn right now he’d no doubt zero in on this place, one of the most distinguished houses on one of the borough’s most distinguished blocks, at 1305 Albemarle Road in Prospect Park South.

2. This 1830 brick and clapboard home in Kingston, N.Y. — a Federal-Greek Revival hybrid — has been updated but still has some of its original details, including rosette moldings, arched doorways and a fan light. The property is a longtime rental currently set up as a two-family, and both units have plenty of light, two bedrooms, one bath, and hardwood floors. The second floor unit also includes a deck and attic access.

1. Our No. 1 listing this week, on Oakland Place in Flatbush, is an aluminum-sided, semi-detached two-story. It’s a one-family residence, with three bedrooms on the top floor. This one’s got parquet floors and original moldings and plaster details, but needs some work, including a kitchen upgrade. (Whether you keep the wild pink color scheme in the living room is up to you.) There’s a shared carport.
