Property Description for 658 Dean Street
Welcome home to this two family, 2700 sqft, brick townhouse comprised of an ideal 3 bedroom owner's duplex with stairs down to the backyard over a one bedroom garden rental, plus a fully finished basement. A full renovation in 2007, provided the building with numerous updates including the reconfiguration of the building and refurbishment of the apartment interiors, all new electrical throughout the building, upgraded plumbing, a brand new roof and a new boiler and hot water heater for each unit. Both apartments have much to offer. In the first floor unit soaring 10 foot high ceilings provide an open and airy feel, as do the over-sized proportions of the 28X15 living/dining room. The back bedroom is also of generous size and there is ample closet space throughout. In the upper duplex the entire second floor is open concept, offering a sprawling 20X45 foot loft-like space to design to your lifestyle. Three windows across the front offer streaming light and a set of stairs off the kitchen lead to your private 1300 sqft garden oasis. A powder room and washer/dryer complete the floor. Up the stairs are three well sized bedrooms along with one and a half bathrooms. In addition, the fully finished basement, accessible from outside the building, offers two rooms and a full bathroom, which could be used for storage, rec room space, or offered as accommodations for guests. It could also be easily combined with the current first floor apartment as rec room space for additional income. Located right off Vanderbilt Avenue residents will enjoy all that prospect heights has to offer such as Olmstead, Weather Up, Ample Hills, The Vanderbilt, Chuko Ramen, Tin Kettle, R&D Foods and Faun to name but a few! For green space, the Dean playground with a large sports field and basketball courts is a block away and the anticipated Pacific Park development, featuring an 8 acre public park designed by Thomas Balsey with several playgrounds, a dog run, basketball and bocce courts, as well as lawns, gardens and water features is currently being built right across the street! As if that weren't enough, commuting could not be easier, with the Atlantic Terminal offering 10 subway lines and the LIRR just a few blocks away.

Prospect Heights | Brooklyn
Quick Profile
Prospect Heights is a small residential neighborhood surrounded by big attractions. It’s rich in culture and offers the perfect blend of old Brooklyn charm and modern-day hipness.
Residents of this tight-knit community include young professionals, families and long-time residents. It’s a walkers paradise - just steps from Prospect Park and a short walking distance to neighborhoods like Downtown Brooklyn, Fort Green and Clinton. You’re close to culture too. Brooklyn Museum, Brooklyn Library, Brooklyn Botanical Garden, Brooklyn Academy of Music and the Barclays Center are all nearby.
Prospect Heights is bordered by Flatbush Avenue to the west, Washington Avenue to the east, Atlantic Avenue and Dean Street to the north and Eastern Parkway to the south.
Prospect Heights, like many areas of New York City, was first inhabited by indigenous tribes and eventually settled by the Dutch and turned into farmland.
A significant part of the Revolutionary War was fought in Prospect Heights and the surrounding areas. Known as the Battle of Brooklyn, it was the first military engagement following the Declaration of Independence. Things didn’t go so well for American forces so they retreated and the British occupied Manhattan for several years after the Battle of Brooklyn.
In 1867, the opening of Prospect Park caused major housing growth in Prospect Heights. The middle-class neighborhood was soon populated by Jewish, Italian, and Irish workers. Many of which were shop-owners or employed as laborers in nearby factories.
Housing in Prospect Heights includes single-family row houses, historic townhouses, co-ops, and new luxury condos. The median listed price for a 1-bedroom in Prospect Heights is $680,000 with an average price per square foot is $944.
The neighborhood's commercial artery runs along Vanderbilt Avenue and Washington Avenue. The variety of businesses adds to the charm of the neighborhood. They include bars, pubs, restaurants and mom-and-pop stores of all types. The shops and eateries are a perfect alternative to the big-name attractions that bracket the neighborhood. It's a little bit of everything in this neighborhood.
Subways are plentiful in Prospect Heights. Its proximity to Manhattan is another perk of the neighborhood. It's about a half-hour train ride. The B, D, N, Q, R, 2, 3, 4 and 5 subway lines all serve the Atlantic Avenue/Barclays Center station. 2, 3, 4, B and Q trains cover the neighborhood and the A and C trains are nearby too.
