Have you ever wandered by the much-admired twin vernacular Italianate wood frame cottages in the Boerum Hill Historic District and thought, ‘I wonder what it’s like to live there?’ Well, now’s your chance. One of the cottages, a two-family located at 240 Dean Street, has an apartment available for rent.

What’s available is the upper triplex — or, technically, the top two floors plus the garret — that’s rich with historic details. There’s a parlor level rental below.

Historic notes inside the triplex include plaster wall and ceiling moldings, a marble mantel, pressed tin ceilings and stained glass windows.

The kitchen has an island and a lot of cabinet and counter space, with a separate dining room off to the side. Neither the full nor half-bath are pictured.

The large master bedroom has en suite half-bath, while the bedroom in the garret makes for quite the unique, if squeezed, living space. Two more bedrooms and a full bath share the level with the master bedroom.

There’s laundry, a deck overlooking the yard and bike storage. Pets are accepted on a case by case basis.

The home is three blocks from the Atlantic Avenue-Barclays Center transit hub, but well removed from the bustle of downtown on a quiet block of historic houses. The house was a former Building of the Day.

Kim Soule and Jessica Henson from Compass have the listing, which is asking $7,000 a month. Would you live here?
