We’ve rounded up some of the more interesting Ditmas Park open house listings for this weekend, as well as rentals. Any thoughts on these places?

1163 New York Avenue (Sponsored)
List Price: $749,000
Size: Three bedrooms, four bathrooms
Details: There aren’t enough adjectives for the word “breathtaking” to truly, adequately describe how, well… breathtaking this home is. A newly-renovated Victorian with brand new hardwood floors, everything about it suggests turn of the century, yet it is 100 percent fully-equipped to meet the demands of the modern world. Sweltering summers? Ridiculous winters? No problem! Central heating and AC have got you covered. In addition to the modern bathroom (did we mention “breathtaking?”), you can take full advantage of a private driveway and enjoy lazy weekend afternoons on the porch. The open living/dining layout is nothing short of luxurious, and stainless steel kitchen appliances and generous counter space simply add to the appeal. The master bedroom has ample closet space and an en-suite bathroom, and there are extra high ceilings throughout. The price ain’t bad either. Just off Cortelyou Road, and close to the 2/5 train.

East 22nd Street Between Ditmas and Newkirk
Rental Price: $2,400, no fee
Size: Three bedrooms, two bathrooms
Details: This third floor apartment and features a “stunningly renovated” kitchen and bathroom. Personally, I think the kitchen seems nice, although “stunningly” might be a bit of a stretch. With uniformly placed radiators, all three bedrooms are pretty decently sized, and there are newly-finished hardwood floors throughout. Located in close proximity to the Cortelyou Road Q train station, plus there is an on-site super. Prospective tenants must make 40 times the rent (at least $96K / year) and have good credit, or a guarantor who makes 80 times the rent and has good credit. Photos are representative of the unit, from another finished apartment in the same building.
