Brooklyn’s Most-Viewed Listings Span $698K to $8.3M

The most-clicked homes on Brownstoner this week make a case that Brooklyn’s housing market is not one market at all. The borough’s ten most popular listings range from a $698,000 row house in Cypress Hills to an $8.3 million two-family in Cobble Hill, and they are spread from Greenpoint to Bay Ridge. Fort Greene and Bay Ridge each drew particular attention, according to the real estate site’s weekly ranking.

At the top of the price scale is 247 Clinton Street in Cobble Hill, a two-family dwelling listed with Compass’s Paul Murphy at $8.3 million. Brownstoner highlights an enclosed rear porch ringed with windows and outfitted with a claw foot tub and a wood burning stove. Not far behind is a 25-foot-wide Greek Revival row house at 162 State Street in the Brooklyn Heights Historic District, asking $6.5 million through Corcoran’s Michael Tannen and Kirra Caruso. Set up as a triplex above a garden rental, it has black marble mantels, Greek Revival pilasters separating the parlors, wood floors and moldings.

Fort Greene landed two entries. At 119 Fort Greene Place, a row house asking $4,199,999 is one of six 1855 brick Italianate houses in the Brooklyn Academy of Music Historic District, listed with Compass’s Kathleen Perkins. Down the road, 288A Vanderbilt Avenue is priced at $2.95 million and sits in a Queen Anne stretch of brick row houses. Brownstoner credits it to architect William Tubby and notes that it retains some of its artistic 1880s character inside; Compass’s Carolina Chia has the listing.

A Greenpoint entry has a more unusual backstory. The two-story, two-unit stucco dwelling at 740 Leonard Street, asking $3 million with Compass’s Sarah Zelermyer-Diaz, includes an attached garage. An old tax photo, Brownstoner reports, shows it was once a brick Italianate carriage house with arched windows and a cornice with paired brackets.

In Prospect Lefferts Gardens, 230 Lincoln Road is a legal single-family in the Prospect Lefferts Manor Historic District, priced at $2.495 million through Corcoran’s Deborah L. Rieders. The listing has built-ins, stained glass and tin ceilings. In Bed-Stuy, 343 Gates Avenue is described as an estate-condition row house with mantels, moldings, picture rails and wainscoting, asking $2.288 million with Serhant’s Leslie Dixon.

The list’s lower end is where Bay Ridge and Cypress Hills show up. At 348 81st Street, an early 20th century single-family row house with a porch, parquet floors, tin ceilings and a garage, the price is $1.45 million; Brownstoner says it has been updated since it was last on the market, and Corcoran’s Gina Bartnik and Kevin Bartnik hold the listing. The same team is behind 449 Marine Avenue, a petite semi-detached single-family with a garage, asking $899,999.

The least expensive home on the list is 37 Grant Avenue in Cypress Hills, a single-family brick row house with the kitchen on the parlor level and two bedrooms above. It is priced at $698,000 with Keller Williams Realty Landmark II’s Claudia Looi.

The ranking reflects what readers clicked on, not what sold, and Brownstoner does not report sale prices or closings in this roundup. Still, the mix offers a snapshot of where attention is landing as autumn settles in: historic-district brownstones in the established neighborhoods, and modest single-families in the outer parts of the borough.
