We’ve rounded up some of the more interesting Ditmas Park open houses coming up this weekend, along with some local apartments (a two-bedroom in a house, a building with a pool, and more) that are available to rent. Any thoughts on these places?

OPEN HOUSES

400 East 17th Street #303 (Sponsored)
List Price: $650,000; maintenance: $996
Size: Two bedrooms, two bathrooms
Details: This is a wonderfully colorful, airy loft-like co-op in an elevator building. With a large living/dining area and ultra-modern cook’s kitchen, this corner unit with beautiful light is perfect for entertaining. It’s difficult to imagine a more attractive and comfortable layout. Both bedrooms are both more than sufficiently spacious, and the master bedroom has its own bath en-suite. Tons of closet space make for easy and convenient storage, plus this home is right around the corner from the bustling Cortelyou Road, so there are always shops, restaurants and cafés to frequent. Located two short blocks from the nearest Q train stop. Cats are welcome, but dogs are, unfortunately, not allowed. Note: There is a wait list for a $100/month parking spot in this building. Bike storage is also available.
Open House: Sunday, November 8, 12-1:30pm

601 East 19th Street #3N
List Price: $429,000; maintenance: $557
Size: One bedroom, one bathroom
Details: If you’re into pristine, mid-century symmetry, then have we got a place for you. This beautifully renovated one bedroom in Ditmas Park not only has an attractive list price and affordable maintenance, but it also offers grand prewar proportions, pristine modern updates, custom woodwork and curated fixtures. Trust us, your mouth will water like one of Pavlov’s doggies. Most foyers aren’t comparable to meager closet space, but the entry foyer here is big enough for a home office or dining area. As Vizzini from “The Princess Bride” would say: Inconceivable! You can just imagine how huge, then, is the living room. No need to, though: It’s 20’x16′. Big enough for you? The custom renovated eat-in kitchen offers quartz countertops, charming wainscoting, custom lighting and loads of cabinets. Additionally, the bedroom is extra large with custom light fixtures and ceiling fan, and the bathroom has been completely renovated with high end fixtures and custom tile work. This blissfully quiet apartment gets great sunlight from north and east exposures, and it offers generous storage and extra deep closet space throughout. Amenities include a live-in super, two new laundry rooms, bike room and is pet friendly: dogs and cats are welcome. Located near the B and Q Newkirk Avenue subway stations.
Open House: Sunday, November 8, 11am to 1:30pm

RENTALS

Dorchester Road 1BR in Elevator Building
Available: Immediately
Price: $2,390
Size: One bedroom, one bathroom
Details: Just three blocks from hip and happening Cortelyou Road, this newly-renovated unit has all what you could ask for and need: hardwood floors, granite countertops in the kitchen, and, my enduring obsession: brand new stainless steel appliances. Oceans of sunlight stream into this fifth floor apartment, and there are laundry services inside of the building as well as an on-site superintendent. Located on a placid, tree-lined street, in close proximity to supermarkets, schools, shopping and more.

Marlborough Road Apt. in Private Home
Available: Immediately
Price: $2,400
Size: One bedroom, one bathroom
Details: Brand new to the market, this extremely bright and airy one-bedroom plus den or office is located in a private, two-family home in the heart of Ditmas Park. The newly renovated kitchen with a French door opens to a large roof deck, which adds tons more living space to your already spacious home. With hardwood floors throughout, those who appreciate an interesting layout will definitely dig the living area’s bay windows, which are, incidentally, not the only windows in the living area. You can just imagine how much vitamin D you will potentially absorb in there. Located one block from the subway, and in close proximity to shopping and a wonderful assortment of good eats. Sorry, no pets.

Prewar Stratford Road Apartment Rental
Available: January 15, 2016
Price: $2,950

A windowed, modern chef’s kitchen boasts an eat-in area, as well as brand new appliances, and renters could also avail themselves of the use of the yard and a front porch.
