Condos of the Day: 1296 Dean Street
There’s not a lot of new construction going on in Crown Heights North these days (please let us know about any projects you do know of), but there are some brownstone conversions for condo hunters to look at. There’s a new five-unit conversion in the beautiful five-story limestone house at 1296 Dean Street. Except for…
There’s not a lot of new construction going on in Crown Heights North these days (please let us know about any projects you do know of), but there are some brownstone conversions for condo hunters to look at. There’s a new five-unit conversion in the beautiful five-story limestone house at 1296 Dean Street. Except for the fact that there are no preserved interior details (and, who knows, there may not have been any left to preserve), it looks like the developer did an okay job on the conversion. Nuthin’ special, but nothing stupid either. The one- and two-bedrooms range in price from $450,000 to $550,000, which means the owner’s looking to gross about $2.5 million, a solid million bucks more than the house would command on its own as a one- or two-family. Expect to see more of these. Anyone make it to the open house yesterday?

It is a very beautiful block, but I think you can do a bit better for the money. Four room/750 sq ft/EIKs in my 40 unit building cost less than this, have lower maintenance, and my neighborhood has more amenities and just as quick a commute. (And btw, it takes more than 15 min ride to get to Midtown from Nostrand Ave, as is claimed in the craiglist listing.)
Beautiful, quiet block. One of very few 5 story homes in the area. Total gut job, which they have been working on for years. I wish I could have seen the house before they gutted it. It must have been a beauty.
Hard to believe they expect to sell anything with one picture of a marble wall in a bathroom? Wha?? That’s supposed to bring people out into the cold to see an open house?
If the subway was closer, someone would be complaining it was too close and rumbling underfoot. As Hal said, it’s not even a ten minute walk to the A at Fulton/Nostrand. That’s not bad at all.
Totally randomn, but I was wondering if anyone could recommend a good coop accountant. I have been recently elected vice president of my coop board, and I am currently unsatisfied with the financials. As a result, I have taken it upon myself to find a better alternative. Any help you can give would be greatly appreciated.
Here’s one for $449k. I looked at another place in the same building last week with friends….. but of course I flaked on the realtor. I’ll try to find the link and post it later.

where are the two bedrooms overlooking Eastern Parkway for under 400k?
What constitutes an acceptable walk to the subway is subjective. It’s less than ten minutes from this house to the A train at Fulton and Nostrand. It could be a drawback for some, but for myself, I wouldn’t see it as a problem.
There is currently a gut-rehab of a 4 floor beautiful red brick and brownstone on Pacific bet Nostrand and Bedford.
Only 1 full bath. I don’t think so.
I’ve seen these listed for a while now. The price is pretty over the top, especially when you can still get a 2 br overlooking Eastern Parkway for under $400k.
