This Weekend's Open House Picks

1711 Dorchester Road open house

We’ve scoured the open house listings for this Sunday, and it wasn’t easy to find any events happening for places listed at much less than $800,000. Still, these homes are light and large and lovely – let us know what you think!

38 Stephens Court
List Price: $739,000
Size: Two bedrooms, two bathrooms
Details: This 1,616 square foot home has been on the market beginning in May, and has dropped in price since then – which doesn’t seem too surprising, considering in past months we’ve seen similarly sized houses priced for less. The place definitely has some great things about it: a fireplace, newly tiled front porch, a skylight, and bay windows, to name a few. There’s an eat-in kitchen with a stove, microwave, washer, and disher; a backyard; an original staircase; large bedrooms; and lots of light. Plus, you’re not far from the 2 and the 5 trains on Newkirk and Nostrand, or the B and Q trains on Newkirk and Foster.
Open House: Sunday, July 13 from 1-4pm (call if you plan to attend)

385 Argyle Road
List Price: $1.36 million
Size: Five bedrooms, two full bathrooms
Details: This super large apartment in a prewar elevator building has a lot going on for it. There are new kitchen appliances, pretty arched doorways, huge windows, built-in book cases, plenty of closet space, and hardwood floors. Plus, you’re close to shopping and dining on both Cortelyou and Coney Island Avenue – and the Q train is three blocks away.
Open House: Sunday, July 13 from 12-1:30pm (call for an appointment)

1711 Dorchester Road
List Price: $1.825 million
Size: Five bedrooms, two full and two half bathrooms
Details: The inside of this home looks lovely – a super light kitchen, a pretty wooden staircase, a generously sized living/dining space. Still, we can’t help but notice that the house is tucked right next to a pretty imposing brick wall of the next-door apartment building. That said, there’s lots of prettiness to be had here – modern kitchen with quartz counter tops, large pantry, a backyard, so much space – and can you say two bathrooms? Plus, there’s central AC and you’re close to the shops and restaurants lining Cortelyou.
Open House: Sunday, July 13 from  2-3:30pm (call ahead for an appointment)
