If you’re looking for a deal, you’re in luck this week, as most of our top listings are listed for under $1 million — and four of them for $200,000 or less. But there’s also no shortage of recently renovated beauties. Which would you choose?
10. Last week’s No. 2, this lovely Crown Heights three-bedroom is super close to the Brooklyn Museum, Prospect Park and the main branch of the Brooklyn Public Library. Recently remodeled, the 950-square-foot apartment has a steam shower, dishwasher and private terrace with a cedar horizontal fence.

9. Last week’s No. 1 drops to near the bottom of the list. This 1940s attached brick Corcoran listing on East 40th Street in East Flatbush was an Open House Pick many months ago. And it’s still on the market — though now listed with Keller Williams — with its $459,000 ask reduced to $450,000. While that may seem like the deal of the century, the property is only one story — two if you count the finished basement, and it legally is only a one-family.
463 East 40th Street
Price: $450,000
Area: East Flatbush
Broker: Corcoran

8. This one-family townhouse in Crown Heights has been completely renovated in thoroughly modern style, with contemporary geometric light fixtures, a sleek kitchen and a whole lot of marble. In addition to being wired up with a home security system, Bose ceiling speakers, master lighting controls and a basement screening area with surround sound, it’s got something not often found in one-family homes: a basement steam room.
793 St. Johns Place
Price: $1.795 million
Area: Crown Heights

7. This Flatlands one-bedroom looks like it recently got new appliances. The bedroom has decent closet space and is big enough to fit a king-size bed.
1165 East 54th Street
Price: $156,000
Area: Flatlands

6. No renovators have been at work at this house, on North Henry Street in Greenpoint, and it’s a prime candidate for an overhaul, with its acoustic-tile ceilings, wall-to-wall carpeting, tired kitchens and faux-wood paneling. Some refiguring wouldn’t hurt this place either — as of now it’s got an apartment on each floor, with a lot of tight spaces. Note the above-ground pool in the backyard.

5. In Bed Stuy, we’ve got a house that will appeal to the narrow-minded buyer. We meant that in the literal sense — this one’s about 13 feet wide. The photos don’t reveal much, but there are original details, including plaster work, floors and at least one marble mantel. With four stories, it’s set up as a double duplex.
229 Madison Street
Price: $1.475 million
Area: Bedford Stuyvesant
Broker: Brown Harris Stevens (Nadine Adamson, Kelsey Hall)

4. This top floor co-op unit gets “flooded in sunlight,” according to the listing. Recently updated, it’s got a new kitchen with stainless appliances, a clean, gray-tiled bath, big living room, and a full size bedroom. A 10-minute walk to the Church Avenue subway station, this building is also a block from Holy Cross Cemetery.
285 East 35th Street #7F
Price: $179,000
Area: East Flatbush

3. Technically an alcove studio, this 575-square foot apartment in Flatlands has a generously sized walk-in closet that can also be used as a study. But here’s something that just might make up for the unit’s lack of a bedroom door — the co-op building has a swimming pool.

Price: $199,000

2. On Marlborough Road in Prospect Park South we’ve got a formidable contender, a beautifully renovated three-story Victorian. “You will not find many homes in Brooklyn more generous in size,” reads the listing, and that seems a fair estimation. It’s got five bedrooms, 3.5 baths, six walk-in closets, 44 windows and a two-car garage. Also upgraded plumbing and electric, zoned A/C and heat, and a new security system. An extra-appealing kitchen, a lovely sun room — a lot to like here.
112 Marlborough Road
Price: $2.825 million
Area: Prospect Park South

1. Our No. 1 listing for the week is this modest Midwood apartment. It’s on the first floor of its building, but it’s been recently renovated with new hardwood floors, new appliances and new kitchen cabinets.
1171 Ocean Parkway #1C
Price: $199,000
Area: Midwood
