South Slope Open House Roundup: Backyards, Budget Buys & More

It’s time to take a peek inside some of the homes that have recently hit the Brooklyn real estate market — and if you’re searching for private parking, backyard retreats, or laundry rooms, you won’t want to miss this week’s open house roundup. Check out some of the details below:

453 12th Street, between 7th and 8th Avenues
Price: $597,000 ($208 common charges)
Size: 1-bed, 1-bath
Details: First up is a single bedroom condo with fresh paint, nice hardwoods throughout, a new stainless steel kitchen that includes both a dishwasher and a microwave, and a private balcony. The pet friendly building also features free storage and laundry access in the basement (so long, Laundromat).
Open House: Sunday, August 23, 12-1:30pm

493 18th Street, between 8th Avenue and Prospect Park West
Price: $998,000
Size: 2-bed, 2-bath
Details: Need two bedrooms? Over on 18th Street is a 1,000-square-foot parlor level home that features a glorious backyard retreat (shown above). Inside, look for natural light, a wood burning fireplace, high end kitchen appliances, TWO bathrooms, in-unit laundry, central air conditioning, and private storage in the basement.
Open House: Sunday, August 23, 12:30-2:30pm

348 12th Street and 6th Avenue
Price: $1,050,000 ($992 common charges)
Size: 3-bed, 1.5-bath
Details: Summer is flying by, and our next home’s wood burning fireplace is going to come in handy when Mother Nature starts burying the neighborhood in snow again. Also look for high ceilings, natural light, a private terrace, and an in-unit washer and dryer. Note that the co-op welcomes cats, but dogs are not allowed.
Open House: Sunday, August 23, 2:30-4pm

581 20th Street, between 10th and 11th Streets
Price: $1,499,000
Size: 4-bed, 3-bath
Details: Last, but certainly not least, is a legal two family house that includes an owner’s duplex and a ground floor studio, which could be converted into a rec room or office. The home is a bit dated, but with a little TLC, this property could definitely turn out to be a diamond in the rough. Hardwoods are in good shape under the carpet, replace the old light fixtures, brighten up the rooms with some paint, and you’ll be off to a great start. Best of all, the home includes a private garage, so you can kick alternate side parking to the curb.
Open House: Sunday, August 23, 1-2:30pm
