House Hunt

Five fantastic open houses this weekend!

Whether you’re in the market for shopping for a home, or just curious about what’s out there, every week, Patch will list a set of properties in the Bedford-Stuyvesant area holding open houses.

These free walk-through and guided tours of homes will give you a chance to see what’s hot and what’s not; develop your real estate sensibility; and learn about Bed-Stuy’s unique architectural fabric… At the very least, it is an exercise in comparison shopping.

1. A renovated three-bedroom, one-bathroom duplex in a brownstone at 237 Decatur Street in Bed-Stuy is available to rent NOW! Oversized windows, tons of closets, hardwood floors, a skylight, original detail, decorative fireplaces, huge bedrooms, and tons of space are only some of the features of this very large space. This is not a cookie cutter apartment. All utilities are separate. 4 blocks from the C train to Kingston/Throop Ave or the C & A train to Utica Ave. Near groceries, shopping, YMCA, and many conveniences. Rent: $2,000.
