Property Description for 168 Dean Street
Nestled on one of Boerum Hill's best blocks, this 22' foot wide, four-story townhouse offers charming pre-war details and endless possibilities for its next owner. Currently configured as floor through apartments, this four-family brownstone could be used as an income producing property or re-imagined as a generous single family dream home. Designed in 1852 by William Alexander as part of a row of eight elegant Italianate brownstones, 168 Dean Street is distinctive from the others with its later modified neo-Greco style faade and split stoop. With 9' windows on the parlor floor, a wall of sliders on the garden level, plus an expanse of windows on the top floor overlooking the 46' south-facing garden, this brownstone is a flooded with sunlight.

Privately accessed on the ground level, the apartment has a large front bedroom, a generous sized kitchen, and sunken living room just off the garden. In addition, there is a second bedroom that could be used as an office, plus a full bath off the entry foyer. The rear garden has a large private patio, perfect for al fresco dining.

A large kitchen and an abundance of closets make this highly desirable space.
Third Floor

The living/dining room of the top floor apartment stretches the full width of the brownstone.

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.
