House Hunt: Cobble Hill & Boerum Hill Spotlight

Each week, we'll point you toward neighborhood open houses. Because who doesn't like a little real estate?! This week, there are two new arrivals on the market worth checking out over the weekend.

*** 

59 Strong Place

Open house is on Sunday, August 26 from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m.

Nineteenth century charm meets modern convenience in this extra-deep Strong Place lot. A spacious garden, complete with bluestone pavers, a magnificently trellised grape arbor, a planting area and a secluded brick/blue stone BBQ area, provides an outdoor oasis for relaxation and renewal. Inside, an open kitchen with a cozy breakfast nook makes cooking a pleasure. "Upstairs, the elegant and grand parlor level extends the living/entertaining space with a formal living room, a middle parlor and a media room/den," swoon Vespa realtors. Add to those amenities four bedrooms, three baths, walk-in closets and great light, and you'll never want to leave. $2,460,000 

Open house is on Sunday, August 26 from 12 p.m. to 1:30 p.m.

Pier Mirrors, 12-foot ceilings, ornate detail and original fireplace mantels set the backdrop of a classiccally beautiful home. "Grand pocket doors frame the entry into the formal dining room," describe the Corcoran representatives. "The open kitchen with breakfast bar enhances function and entertaining. French doors to each of the bedrooms offer a quaint welcoming of natural light." Yours for $929,000
