359 Dean St

Own a piece of historic Brooklyn with this impeccably maintained two-family home in Boerum Hill. This 20’ wide townhouse allows for approximately 2,800 square feet of living space (not including the cellar) and almost 1,400 square feet of outdoor space. It is a legal two-family, with a total of five bedrooms and four bathrooms. The parlor floor apartment is currently set up as a one bedroom primary suite downstairs, which could be configured back into two bedrooms with ease. On the upper two floors, you will find an immaculate three bedroom, two bathroom apartment perfect for living, renting, or even combining into a single-family home if desired. 359 Dean street is an absolute gem. As you enter through the impressive front door made with African Mahogany, you will find pre-civil war details abound, natural wide-plank pine wood floors, high ceilings with classic plaster moldings, functioning pocket doors and five exquisite marble mantles, three of which are gas fired. With windows everywhere and the front of the property facing South, you will enjoy an abundance of light all day long. As you move through the parlor floor apartment, the kitchen opens out onto one of the two decks which overlook the rear landscaped garden. A truly magical space when the leaves are in bloom and utterly charming when lit up in the evening hours. The primary suite downstairs currently has the bedroom at the rear of the house with a door that leads straight out into the garden. Towards the front of the house, there is a living room with a cozy gas fireplace and even more beautiful, oversized windows allowing light to flood the space throughout the day. This apartment uses high-velocity forced air to cool throughout and the whole building has radiator heat. One floor down, you'll find an immaculate cellar with a laundry room, approximately 7’ ceilings and a ton of extra usable space. The second floor apartment is absolutely stunning. The completely renovated kitchen boasts granite countertops, stainless steel appliances and ceramic tile floors. The oversized floor-to-ceiling kitchen window and door opens out onto the second of the two decks, again overlooking the garden and cityscape. The bathroom has a tub, ceramic tiling and a Bosch washer/dryer conveniently located right next to it. Ceiling fans and split A/C units make cooling this beautiful space in the hot summer months a breeze. This upper level apartment has an expansive living space with two stunning marble mantles and an alcove area which is currently being used as an office. As you move up to the third floor, you will find an impeccably renovated marble tiled bathroom, two large, nearly equally sized bedrooms and a smaller third bedroom, which could be used as a nursery or an office. Considered a village in the city, Boerum Hill offers the best of all worlds. The transport hub is like none other with nine subway lines and the LIRR right around the corner. You have the Barclays Center, BAM multi-arts center, an Apple Store and Whole Foods, while also having an exciting dining scene with restaurants such as Rucolah on Dean street and Convivium Osteria on 5th Avenue. Both worldly and homey, Boerum Hill offers a sense of community while also being in the center of it all!
