162 DEAN St

Perfection on Dean Street in Boerum Hill

Rarely do you come across a house that checks all the boxes, so I invite you see one that does. 162 Dean Street is a circa 1852, mid-block, 22" wide, 2-family brownstone with breathtaking scale and an untouched layout with much of its original detail still intact. It has been lovingly maintained by its current owners since 2006 and is now ready for new Stewards to create memories and maintain its historical integrity.

The home is configured and recorded as a legal 2-family, with a large, garden-level one bedroom and stately four bedroom triplex above. It's built 45" deep on a 100" lush, south-facing lot and has approximately 450 sf of unused FAR, allowing for a valuable 2-story addition to be created. The home features a rarely seen triple parlor with 12" ceilings and intricate plaster moldings, working fireplaces, original hardwood floors, pocket window shutters, and a cleverly hidden 4 year old CAC system. The kitchen and baths are in a simple European style. The current owners even located a large ceramic tub from the famed Plaza Hotel that was craned into the primary suite. The top floor of the home has enormous rooms with a pitched roof, large closets, and a skylit hallway above the wide original staircase. I can go on and on, but the photos speak a thousand words, please enjoy them. I hope to meet you at our first Open House, this Sunday May 18, from 12-2pm.
