Property Description for 474 Dean Street
Nestled on Dean Street in Prospect Heights and at the apex of Clinton Hill, Fort Greene, Boerum Hill and Park Slope is one of the area's oldest clapboard homes. This unique frame house is your chance to own a one of a kind 20 foot wide townhouse.
Enter through the entryway/mudroom into an oasis of calm and relax in the open living room with gorgeous wide plank pumpkin pine floors. The airy dining room has plenty of space to entertain and is conveniently located off the galley kitchen. Ample storage closets, stainless steel appliances (Miele stove top, Verona oven, Bosch dishwasher and Summit refrigerator) and light flooding in from the skylight make the kitchen the perfect size.
Off the dining room, and leading out to the garden, is a feature sun room with skylights; a great flexible space with a very large storage closet. Here you will also find another bathroom with full vanity, deep two person bath, and heated towel rail.
From the sun room you enter out onto the wooden deck running the length of the house and leading to the deep and open garden, with a shady tree, plantings and a built in IPE wall bench. On the ground floor you also have the convenience of a half bathroom that houses the washer/dryer. Opposite this is another closet, next to the stairs that take you down to the full length storage cellar.
On the second floor are two large bright bedrooms with built in storage closets. A full bathroom featuring Duravit washbasin, Toto toilet and a large tiled Grohe rain shower completes this spa bath. Before heading up the winding wooden staircase to the top floor there is a charming little reading nook with great light.
On the top third floor is the large master bedroom with built in closets, plenty of room for seating and the original decorative fireplace. The fourth lovely, bright bedroom, overlooks the rear garden and again has plenty of attic storage.
This home could not be more convenient. It is located right by the Atlantic Avenue transit terminal, which has both great subway links and LIRR access. Also In four different directions you can walk or bike to BAM, Wholefoods, great restaurants/bars, Prospect Park/Brooklyn Museum/Botanical Gardens/Zoo, great shops and of course the Barclays Center itself, with amazing sporting events and concerts.
Very few opportunities abound to own a unique part of Brooklyn's townhouse history. Come and take a peek soon!

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.
