Handsome High-Rise

In a rare marriage of high-rise views and boutique comforts, the 10-story Soleil is winning raves and selling fast in South Williamsburg. “You feel like you’re in the clouds, and because the building faces north and south, all the apartments have great light,” says David Maundrell, president of the marketing and sales firm aptsandlofts.com. “And every unit from the fifth to the tenth floor has long, dramatic views.” Three-inch American Walnut floors and deep-soaking tubs distinguish each of the 20 apartments (two ground-floor duplexes, two 1BRs on each floor). For added privacy and exclusivity, a key-operated elevator opens into the apartments. Residents will love the proximity of Grand Street cafés, bars, and markets, the Northside and the Bedford Avenue subway. From $489,000 to $625,000. FALL 2008.

Just Like You’d Imagine

The leafy neighborhood life of bygone days and dreams awaits the owner of a three-story, six-bedroom house in South Midwood. Here, in a quiet district bordered by Fiske Terrace, Ditmas Park, and Brooklyn College, the double-parlored, bay-windowed stalwart takes its place with other spacious Victorian-style houses, ample lawns, and front porches. Says Nalani Clark of Brooklyn Properties, “It’s the ideal home for families with Manhattan ties, or those who crave work-at-home space and coffee breaks in the garden. The city lover will know suburban peace and plenitude without leaving the city limits.” The gracefully renovated house, on a pastoral quarter-acre and shaded by a century-old copper beech, has two full and two half-baths, a family room with vaulted ceiling, three-sided exposure, and a master bedroom with leaded glass windows. The front porch swing will stay. $1,499,000. IMMEDIATE.
