Property Description for 1254 Dean Street
A beautiful townhouse on one of Crown Heights most coveted blocks. This limestone was built in 1905 and is currently a legal four unit building, being used as a three. There is a bonus finished cellar with light, spa like tiled floors, recessed lights, HVAC and a hard wired system for a full media suite (ethernet, TV, speakers). This gives the property five livable floors with almost 3700 square feet on an 18X100 foot lot.
Boasting bay windows on three floors, the property is dripping with original details including wainscoting, 4 fireplaces and multiple mantels with original mirrors and moldings. The parlor floor has 12 foot ceilings, majestic oak pocket doors. All 4 floors contain original shutters.
The ground floor has central AC which the duct work is in place on the parlor floor for the same. Elsewhere the mechanics are in good working order. The 10-year old gas boiler services the whole house and is regularly inspected and upgraded. A chimney flue was also installed a decade ago while the roof is six years old. The house was given a full electric upgrade when the current owner moved in 2002. There is a new sewer line and water lines throughout.
The former parlor floor kitchen has been converted into a laundry room. The gas connection allows a new owner to turn it back into a kitchen if need be. A new owner could live either in a lower triplex or duplex (including the cellar) or it could be converted into a stunning single family home with only cosmetic upgrades required.
The exterior in the front and back features recently stamped concrete patios. The property is located in the historic district Crown Heights North which is guaranteed to preserve the character of the area. In fact, the tree lined 1200 Dean St. block hosts two celebrated churches with another nearby.
This section of Crown Heights has numerous coffee shops, restaurants and a vibrant and diverse demographic of making it one of the most sought after neighborhood in the borough. The A-Train stop is in close proximity and gets you to Lower Manhattan in 20 minutes. The 3 train is approximately 15 minutes away. Other nearby amenities include the Brooklyn Childrens Museum, Botanic Gardens, The Brooklyn Museum, Grand Army Plaza Central Library and Prospect Park.

Quick Profile
Originally known as Crown Hill by the Lenape Indians that lived there, Crown Heights has evolved into a diverse neighborhood, occupied primarily by Hasidic Jews and one of the largest Caribbean populations to be found anywhere outside of the West Indies.
Head over to Nostrand Avenue, one of the main West Indian commercial areas in the neighborhood, which is lined with stores that have been in those exact same places for generations, providing their goods and services to area residents. Kingston Avenue has similar commercial activities that support the Jewish community, and Franklin Avenue shows the most signs of change and gentrification, with an ever-expanding mix of yoga studios, coffee shops, and organic grocery stores that serve the influx of young professionals. No matter which of these areas you visit, you will find an interesting mix of businesses that you wouldn’t normally picture as existing side-by-side. It is all part of the cultural diversity of Crown Heights.
The neighborhood is bisected, from east to west, by Eastern Parkway, which is a beautiful, 3-mile-long boulevard lined with mature trees. This leafy oasis was designed by Frederick Law Olmsted, famed designer of Central Park, the Biltmore Estate in North Carolina, and the U. S. Capitol in Washington, D. C.
You will find a mix of low-rise apartment buildings, large middle-class elevator buildings, brownstones, and some luxury buildings. Century-old architecture stands next to modern residential developments in a visually interesting mix of styles, much as the diversity of the residents exists. People who would not normally meet and mix are forging new pathways to cultural understanding by working, living, and playing together in the same neighborhood.
