We’ve rounded up some of the more interesting open houses happening in and around Bensonhurst this weekend. Any thoughts on these places?

2742 Harway Avenue
List Price: $579,000
Size: Two bedrooms, two bathrooms
Details: What a charmer! This adorable detached home offers a sleek kitchen with hardwood floors, plus sweet details like moulding that give away its ripe old age (it turns 100 this year!), and plenty of outdoor space. It’s around the corner from the bus, as well as a short walk to Calvert Vaux Park and the D at Bay 50th Street, too.
Open House: Saturday, February 28 and Sunday, March 1, both 1-4pm

173 Bay 23rd Street #3B
List Price: $699,999
Size: Three bedrooms, two bathrooms
Details: This nice big condo features high ceilings, recessed lighting, an updated kitchen, and a porch and balcony. It’s also near the D at 20th Avenue, as well as global cuisine from kebabs to pork buns to ceviche. Move in and dig in.
Open House: Sunday, March 1, 2-4pm

2147 66th Street
List Price: $988,000
Size: Four bedrooms, three bathrooms, split over two units
Details: This two family home has a few pros and cons to consider. While its drop ceilings, faux wood-paneled rooms, wallpapered cabinets, and grubby carpet are crying out for updates, its second unit could provide some nice rental income to offset renovation costs. Location-wise, it’s near Bay Parkway food and shopping, as well as close to the N and closeish to the F.
Open House: Sunday, March 1, 1-3pm

1931 81st St
List Price: $1,499,000
Size: Five bedrooms, three bathrooms, split over two units
Details: Another two family, this home near 86th Street amenities, Milestone Park, and the D at 18th Avenue includes good things like an upstairs terrace, parquet (and other nice) wood floors, a windowed bathroom, a fireplace, and a roomy kitchen. It also includes, however, things whose goodness is up for slightly more debate — like an Enter the Dragon-esque mirrored bedroom — so unless you’ve been looking for a place to try out your best Bruce Lee, you’ll probably want that rental income for renovations too.
Open House: Sunday, March 1, 1-3pm
