We’ve got a grab bag for you on the open house front this weekend, with houses of brick, brownstone, limestone and vinyl that span different periods and styles.

First up, a charming 19th-century brick townhouse on a lovely cobblestoned block of Joralemon Street in Brooklyn Heights.

A semi-detached four-story with a center staircase, it’s got the original...

The Orange Is the New Black actress reportedly toured a second-floor condo at 415 East 6th Street, per the New York Post. The building, which is comprised of just three units, is situated above a historic—and active—synagogue. Last year, Swedish actor Alexander Skarsgård toured the duplex penthouse, before eventually turning his attention elsewhere in the neighborhood and snapping up a $2.3 million abode at 119 East 10th Street. Before that, comedian Aziz Ansari checked out the very same unit on 6th Street, though he, too, passed on it. ...
