126 Dean Street

Nestled in the highly sought after Boerum Hill Historic District in downtown Brooklyn, this landmark designated, legal, two family, Italianate brownstone rowhouse is situated on the charming block of Dean between Smith and Hoyt. Originally constructed between 1849-1855 for local merchants and business people as one in a group of six residences by the architect and developer of record, John A. Hughes. The property is bursting with original details from the inside out, with a black, wood cornice, a Tudor-arched doorway evoking the Gothic Revival style, iron grilles, fence and stoop railing, pocket doors, built ins, crown molding, ceiling pendants and multiple working, wood burning fireplaces, to name a few. To date, the property is arranged as three apartments with a three bedroom duplex over the parlor level, one bedroom above a one bedroom garden apartment with an unfinished basement. The garden and parlor apartments maintain access to the tranquil backyard, which is blanketed in green vegetation with a stone path leading to a bench to rest on while you pass a lazy afternoon under the shade of the magnolia and flowering crab trees. The home maintains rich, historic details and good bones, which are awaiting a new owner to craft and curate the interiors to their liking. All mechanicals are in good, working condition and receive regular maintenance. If this sounds like the future home of your dreams, we invite you to take a peek! Boerum Hill is an easygoing, predominantly low-rise community surrounded by Cobble Hill, Downtown Brooklyn, Fort Greene and Gowanus. The residential heart of the neighborhood is its quaint, historic district, which encompasses parts of Pacific, Dean, Bergen and Wyckoff Streets. Interspersed throughout are charming ground-floor businesses like the atmospheric Italian restaurant Rucola and the aptly named Little Sweet Cafe. Influential cultural institutions and recreational venues, such as Brooklyn Academy of Music, Barclays, Brooklyn Bridge Park and the ferry to Governor's Island, are conveniently accessible. Finally, the neighborhood is very well connected with transportation options galore, including F, G, A and C metro stations, East River Ferry, Citi Bike hubs and the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway.
