"Brownstones are an integral part of New York City's architectural heritage. They evoke a suburban idyll but in a distinctly urban setting, offering plenty of room for a large family as well as a sense of seclusion and privacy. Often brimming with charm, personality, and history, brownstones are known to command top dollar on the real estate market and even spark bidding wars. Out of the five boroughs, Brooklyn is especially known for its handsome stock of townhouses, which can fetch north of $10 million, especially in neighborhoods like Park Slope, Carroll Gardens, and Boerum Hill. Below, we've rounded up nine of the most charming brownstones across Brooklyn that are for sale right now."
