Top 10 Brooklyn Real Estate Listings: A Diamond in Ditmas Park, a Brownstone in Bed Stuy

This week, our most popular listings favored whole houses over apartments. Many were historic, including a pre-Civil War home near the Manhattan Bridge, a few fixer-uppers with lots of potential, and some charming homes that could really shine given the right owner.

Which would you choose?

10. On Concord Street is a house of a type that doesn’t come along often — one of the pre-Civil War homes clustered in this pocket of Downtown Brooklyn near the Manhattan Bridge entrance, sometimes called Bridge Plaza. This one dates back to around 1850, with a restored facade that includes the original cornice, window frames, front door and slate steps. There’s some nice original detail within, including mantels and moldings. The house, which measures 25 feet wide, is set up as a three-family, with a unit on each floor, and a nice garden in the rear.

9. Next up, on East 19th Street in Ditmas Park, is a sprawling Colonial Revival with six bedrooms and a large wraparound porch. Inside is a lot of space and a good deal of original detail in fine shape, including parquet floors, a columned pier mirror, stained glass, pocket doors and several tiled fireplaces. The top floor’s got a vintage full bath with a claw foot tub and a pull-chain toilet; the other full bath is recently renovated. There’s a driveway and a two-car garage. The 1910 home is located in the Ditmas Park Historic District.

8. This Crown Heights two-bedroom isn’t huge, but it’s clean and stylish, and has a small balcony off the master bedroom. It’s on the third floor of 943 Saint Marks Avenue, a circa 1907 building that was converted to condos in 2010, and has 19 units. The brick and stone four-story building is located within the Crown Heights North Historic District III.

7. This brownstone on Van Buren Street in Stuy Heights is “way cooler than anything you’ve seen till now,” according to the livelier-than-average listing copy. It’s no average gut job, either: The kitchen has marble counters, brass pendent lights, tile laid in a herringbone pattern, and a Bertazzoni range.

6. This bay-fronted Bed Stuy brownstone may need some work, and maybe quite a lot of it, but it’s got some fetching period detail that would reward any renovation effort. It’s at 670 Macon Street, between Ralph and Patchen avenues.

4. In Midwood Park on East 17th Street, we’ve got a one-family on a 50-by-100-foot lot that looks to be in fine repair. The Colonial Revival house is within the Fiske Terrace-Midwood Park Historic District. It’s got four bedrooms and two baths, with an attractive sunroom facing the street and a deck in the rear. There are hardwood floors, a wood-burning fireplace in the living room, stained glass, original moldings and built-in cabinets with leaded glass. There’s a “semi-finished” basement with a half bath and a detached garage that’ll hold three cars, should you have that many.

3. Here’s a fully renovated townhouse that still retains its 19th century charm and original details yet offers modern convenience. Located at 348A 14th Street in Park Slope, it’s configured as an owner’s duplex over a garden-floor one-bedroom rental.

2. Next up is Dyker Heights, and a single-family residence that’s located on 88th Street — sort of. The address is on 88th Street, but in an unusual setup the actual house is set back 50 feet from the street, and is “accessible by easement,” according to the listing. That makes for some nice seclusion, presumably, with trees and plantings on three sides. The house itself is a bit unorthodox for Brooklyn as well, with an l-shape. There’s a small front porch, a large living room with a beamed ceiling, an eat-in kitchen, dining room and a full bath on the first floor.

1. In Windsor Terrace on 16th Street, we’ve got a two-story single family that is “in need of a modern refurbishment,” according to the listing. The early 20th century brick house has an expansive living space on the first floor, with a center hall staircase and a pair of columns; upstairs are three bedrooms. Details include a moldings, parquet floors and a fireplace that doesn’t look to be original. The condition of the row house actually looks pretty good, but some may want to upgrade the kitchen, at least.

Price: $1,995,000
