Property Description for 187 Dean Street
This 20’ wide late Italianate townhouse is a masterful piece of authentic New York history. One of five row brownstones built in 1871, 187 Dean Street is a three family home located in the Historic District of Boerum Hill. The property currently has two free market rented units and offers the option for conversion to a single-family home, keep as an investment property, or a live plus income scenario.
The facade of the house showcases French doors under an arched entrance framed by columns and simple brackets supporting the slab cornice. The interior of the house features numerous preserved details including six wood burning fireplaces with marble mantles and ornate cast iron summer covers, original crown moldings, and tin ceilings. The house is currently configured as two floor-through units over an owner’s duplex occupying the parlor and garden levels. The floor-through units each consist of 1.5 bedrooms and 1 bathroom with a spacious living area and are currently rented at free market rents. Recent capital improvements include a new roof within the past year, and gas boiler and mechanicals updated in the past ten years.
187 Dean Street is positioned on a tree-lined block between Bond Street and Hoyt Street convenient to local restaurants such as Rucola, health clubs, yoga studios, Trader Joe’s on Court Street, and entertainment at BAM and the Barclays Center. Transportation is very convenient with a Citi Bike dock on Dean Street, the F/G line on Smith and Bergen, the A/C/G at Hoyt-Schermerhorn, and all major lines including the LIRR at the Atlantic Terminal.

Boerum Hill | Brooklyn
Quick Profile
Boerum Hill is a tiny, quiet, primarily residential neighborhood in Brooklyn. There are broad tree-lined streets that are filled with elegant three and four-story brownstones and townhouses, mostly built between 1840 and 1870. There is a definite family vibe to the neighborhood, but young professionals are moving in, and with them are coming trendy bars to cater to their desire for some measure of nightlife, without having to linger in Manhattan. These new bars and restaurants are being sandwiched in amongst existing shops on both Atlantic Avenue and Smith Street, which are the main commercial areas in Boerum Hill.
Boerum Hill offers a convenient location that is still able to maintain its small-neighborhood feel. Shopkeepers value their customers and remember their regulars. It continues to do what it was designed to do, namely provide small-town living in the very shadow of the big city. Boerum Hill is an easy commute to other parts of the city, making it easy to come home every day to the peace and tranquility of Boerum Hill while commuting to a job anywhere in the city.
The neighborhood is quite walkable and you can take the time to catch up with your neighbors while visiting on their stoops. Shopping on Atlantic Avenue is stress-free with no high pressure. You can meet with friends at any of the many coffee shops and while away pleasant hours in conversation. The dining scene on Smith Street is similarly laid-back. Don’t expect that there will be quite as much to see or do as there is in Manhattan, but there are a decent number of interesting bars and restaurants providing a measure of nightlife. The trade-off is worth it, as Boerum Hill provides a quiet, peaceful place to live and raise a family.
