Brooklyn Real Estate Listings Six Months Later: One Sold, Two in Contract, One off the Market

This week, a look back at four of our featured listings from six months ago focuses on homes in Sunset Park, Bed Stuy, Flatbush and Park Slope. How did they fare?

In a Sunset Park co-op that was built as affordable housing by Finnish co-operators in the early 20th century, a modest one-bedroom walk-up has charming original details and remains one of the more affordable options for owning in Brooklyn. Inside, the unit has a spacious foyer and three main rooms. There are coved ceilings, wall moldings, picture rails and parquet floors in the living room and bedroom. This former Co-op of the Day entered contract in November.

A traditional Neo-Grec on the exterior, this single-family Bed Stuy brownstone has a sprinkling of quirky style on the interior mixed with the expected wood floors, mantels and moldings. The design choices include a pink kitchen that brings a bit of 1950s flair to 415 Quincy Street. The legal single-family is set up with a second kitchen on the top floor. Dining, main kitchen, a full bath and laundry are on the garden level with parlor and a bedroom above. This former House of the Day was taken off the market in June.

In the leafy Fiske Terrace-Midwood Park Historic District, this early 20th century standalone has gotten an interior brush up that left period details intact while giving the kitchen a more modern flair. Built in the section originally developed as Midwood Park, the brick and stucco house at 695 East 17th Street has a bit more of a sedate street presence than some of its more fanciful neighbors. On the interior, the rooms have been lightened with all-white walls, but details such as the built-ins on either side of the living room’s working fireplace, moldings and wood floors have been left in place. This former House of the Day sold in August for $2.307 million, which was $107,000 over the asking price.

In Park Slope, a bow-fronted limestone four-family is one of a row of late 19th century flats buildings. Completed by 1900, the building contains four floor-through apartments with pier mirrors, parquet, mantels, moldings and original doors. The units are unusually large, with at least three bedrooms apiece, and some have 1.5 bathrooms and in-unit laundry. This former Open House Pick entered contract in July.
