Property Description for 1239 Dean Street, 2

Welcome to 1239 Dean Street #2, a lovely apartment in a 1890 brownstone, one of five Queen Anne style row houses originally designed by Amzi Hill. This 967sf apartment is a full floor-through condominium which has been tastefully renovated and is located on a picturesque tree-lined street in the Crown Heights North Historic District. A wonderfully landscaped garden and grand stoop lead through the original double door and vestibule to an opulent staircase featuring the original wood banisters and balustrades. Enter your two bedroom one and a half bath apartment, boasting high ceilings, tall windows, beautiful Brazilian Teak floors throughout, an open kitchen/living/dining concept, a large master bedroom, a sizeable second bedroom, four closets, and a full-size washer and dryer. Keeping with the original design, this apartment has the restored decorative fireplace and mantel in the living room. Huge windows provide light and an impressive vista of this beautiful historic street. The kitchen has reclaimed chalkboard countertops repurposed from their prior life in the New York City school system, ample storage, and new stainless steel appliances. There is also a powder room for convenience and guest usage. The master bedroom has an ensuite bath with Jacuzzi tub and the washer and dryer smartly tucked away in a closet. Rounding out this perfectly designed apartment is an individually locked storage unit and bicycle storage in the basement. 1239 Dean is situated on a gorgeous block in prime Crown Heights around the corner from the booming shops, restaurants, and bars of Franklin Avenue, and within walking distance of Prospect Park, the Brooklyn Museum, and the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens. The A and C trains are a short walk at Nostrand Avenue, and the LIRR is two blocks away. Your new home awaits!

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.
