‘ VERY, VERY PRETTY’ This 1,650-square-foot loft in a pre-war, landmarked, six-story building is packed with original details, including mahogany floors, exposed brick, and 10-foot pressed-tin ceilings. The elevator opens into the apartment, which is on its own private floor. The state-of-the-art kitchen features top-of-the-line appliances, granite countertops, and maple cabinets. The two bedrooms have northern exposures. “It’s a very, very pretty apartment,” said Susan Dougherty of Halstead Property, who represented both the buyer and seller. “There were bidding wars, and, to the day it closed, people were emailing me trying to buy it,” she said. The buyer will get back $400 a month in rent from the building’s retail space, which is occupied by a home furnishings store. The buyer is a single woman who is a fashion designer. The seller, an advertising executive, bought a townhouse in Carroll Gardens.

CULINARY COUPLE This 800-squarefoot duplex features excellent light, an exposed brick wall in the living room, and a modern, open kitchen with new appliances. But the best part is found outside its walls. The 450-square-foot slate patio is “phenomenal” and perfect for entertaining, said the buyer’s broker, Lauren Wagner of JC Deniro. The buyers are newlyweds. He is an executive chef, and she is a sommelier. They plan to build an outdoor kitchen area on the patio and possibly install a Jacuzzi. The building, which is near P.S. 6, requires no board approval, so the apartment can be used as a pied-àterre. Mary JoTaubner and Susan Fishman of Douglas Elliman represented the seller.

I WANT A MURPHY BED This 450-square-foot studio is laid out in a way that makes it seem larger. The apartment has hardwood floors, great closet space, good light from north and east exposures, and is in a convenient location for shopping and restaurants. The building offers a doorman, bike room, storage bins, and a beautifully landscaped roof deck. “The lobby is fabulous,” said the buyer’s broker, Dianne Quander of Citi-Habitats. The buyer, a single woman, especially liked one interesting feature of the apartment. “I can’t tell you how happy this girl is to have a Murphy Bed,” Ms. Quander said. “It was like a dream sale,” Ms. Quander said. “Everything went very smoothly.” Susanne Steward of the Corcoran Group represented the seller, a single woman who wanted more space.

STAINLESS STEEL AND SMOKED GLASS This extra-large brownstone, built in 1899, stands on one of the nicest tree-lined blocks in Fort Greene, according to Rodolfo Lucchese of the Corcoran Group, who represented both the buyer and seller.

The 950-square-foot apartment is packed with pre-war details including oversize windows with excellent sunlight, 11-foot ceilings, hardwood floors, and a wood-burning fireplace.

The seller, a single professional woman, gave the apartment a modern look, with four unique handmade lighting fixtures made of stainless steel, smoked glass, and bamboo.

It is also packed with amenities, including a washer, dryer, and dishwasher. The brownstone is down the block from Fort Greene Park and is close to subways, shopping, and restaurant row.

The buyers are a young couple planning to start a family. They are moving from another apartment in the area because they like the location. The seller is moving to a condo duplex penthouse in Cobble Hill.
