Diverse listings across Brooklyn and two-bedroom apartments running under $1 million got the attention of Brownstoner readers this week.

Our most viewed listings included a lofted duplex in Clinton Hill, a co-op in Midtown, and a 19th-century apartment in Park Slope.

Which would you choose?

10. First up is a semi-detached four-story on Sterling Place, with two staircases, front and center. The renovated interior offers no detail and little charm, but it looks to be in move-in shape. Probably a two-family Kinko house when built, now it’s a three-family, with a three-bedroom owner’s duplex and a pair of floor-through apartments above. There’s also a “semi-finished” basement with a separate entrance.

9. Next, on Remsen Street in Brooklyn Heights we find a five-story townhouse that’s 21 feet wide, with harbor and skyline views. It’s got a glass-walled state-of-the-art entertaining penthouse with an adjoining media screening room and an exquisite roof garden. No, wait, actually it doesn’t have that — that’s part of the broker’s grand vision for the house, which is for “the discerning townhouse aficionado who is enchanted with the location, but also demands a solid investment.” In other words, the place needs a major overhaul. Hard to know more than that, given how little the photos show.

8. On Quentin Road in Marine Park is a semi-detached single-family brick Tudor. A two-story, it’s got original wood floors and a distinctive arched doorway on the ground floor, which holds a living room, dining room and eat-in kitchen. The carpeted upstairs has three bedrooms and a tiled bathroom with a tub in a grotto of sorts. There’s a finished basement, a shared driveway and a detached garage.

7. This co-op has been completely renovated and given a loft-like open floor plan. It’s located in a Beaux-Arts building with an unusually shaped facade, which gives the living space a distinctive shape.

Situated on Riverside Drive in Washington Heights, the building is income restricted. Qualifying incomes top out at $119,625 for a household of two.

5. Next up is a newly constructed townhouse on Carroll Street off 4th Avenue, in Park Slope. Twenty feet wide, it’s got a facade paneled in ipe, with banks of windows stretching the length of the building. The modern interior offers four bedrooms, 5.5 bathrooms, two floors of living space, a roof deck and a finished basement — 3,732 square feet of interior space, all told.

4. This 1.5-bedroom condo has a fair amount to recommend it, including a berth right across the street from Prospect Park, a large and fetching living room with bay windows overlooking the park, and a big deck off the bedroom in the rear. It’s on the third floor of a four-story townhouse at 108 Prospect Park West, at the corner of 6th Street.

3. This 19th-century dumbbell apartment wanders on seemingly forever, and offers a home office in addition to two sizable bedrooms and a good-size dining space off the living room. There are elegant moldings, a claw foot tub, a built-in mirrored buffet with shelves, and an in-unit washer and dryer. It’s located in a Park Slope co-op building.

2. This lofted duplex in Clinton Hill’s Cathedral Condos has soaring ceilings and huge windows. Located in the neo-Gothic former Cathedral College of the Immaculate Conception, it was designed by architect Gustave Steinback and converted to condos in 1988. The building retains its wonderful gargoyles.

1. Finally, this unit in one of Sunset Park’s original Finnish co-ops is filled with original details, including molding, inlaid floors, a claw foot tub, and some closet doors with wood-grain finish. Located across the street from the park, it’s in estate condition, so will need some work.
