Property Description for 161 Dean Street

Rarely does a 25-foot wide, fully renovated, landmarked townhouse come on the market in the heart of Boerum Hill, Brooklyn. 161 Dean Street is a light-filled, south-facing home on a quiet, treelined street, an oasis in the midst of the bustling shops and fabulous restaurants along Smith Street and Atlantic Avenue. Comprised of 6 bedrooms and 4.5 baths, this four story townhouse was thoroughly renovated in 2000 with additional upgrades in 2006 and can be used as a single-family townhouse or triplex and garden rental. Enter the warm and inviting home and feel every inch of the expansive 25' width: sunlight streams through the living room windows and the working fireplace is the parlor level's focal point. Both the parlor and garden levels have radiant heated floors and there is zoned heat and central air throughout. The parlor level consists of the living room, dining room and kitchen, and just off the rear of the home you are greeted with an expansive outdoor space featuring a covered deck, landscaped yard (complete with apple and peach trees) and a Hamptons-style screened-in porch just off the garden level. The parlor and garden levels are joined by a skylighted back staircase, leading you to a welcoming casual living room with open kitchen, walk-in pantry, bedroom, full bath and access to the full basement. The second floor has the primary bedroom with double closets and ensuite bathroom, a large study with working fireplace and ensuite bathroom, as well as a separate home office. On the top floor are three bedrooms, a full bath, laundry area and skylights throughout. 161 Dean Street is close to all of Boerum Hill's favorites: Rucola, Mile End, Bar Tabac, French Louie, Blue Bottle, Konditori, and the endless shops along Smith and Atlantic, and set on one of the prettiest blocks in Brooklyn. Conveniently located close to the Brooklyn Bridge, A,C,F,G, 2 and 3 subway lines. With its exceedingly rare width and its prized location, 161 Dean Street is an incredible opportunity to make this your cherished Brooklyn home.

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.
