A classic Red Hook townhouse with nearly 3,000 square feet of interior space, a deep private garden, and a flexible two-family configuration, 27 Dikeman Street offers the kind of space that is increasingly hard to find in Brooklyn.

Currently arranged as an owner’s lower duplex with a separate residence above, the home combines generous proportions with an unusually versatile layout.

On the parlor level, the main residence opens to a bright living and dining space stretching more than 29 feet, with a renovated kitchen positioned along the rear of the home. South-facing windows bring in abundant natural light and overlook the garden, while doors lead directly to a deck for an easy connection between indoors and out. A spacious bedroom, separate office, and full bath complete this floor.

The lower level dramatically expands the possibilities, with two large recreation rooms, an additional office or media room, a full bath, laundry, and direct access to the garden. At approximately 20 feet wide and 40 feet deep, the landscaped backyard feels like a true extension of the house, with established plantings, bamboo, and a mature myrtle tree creating a private setting for dining, entertaining, gardening, or simply having more room outdoors.

The upper residence occupies the third floor and features its own kitchen, living room, dining room, bedroom, den, additional smaller bedroom or flexible space, and full bath. With leafy views toward the garden and excellent separation from the floors below, it works beautifully as an income-producing apartment while preserving privacy for the main residence.

Beyond the house, Dikeman Street puts you in the heart of what makes Red Hook so distinctive: waterfront parks and piers, historic streets, independent shops, galleries, restaurants, and some of Brooklyn’s most beloved local institutions. Red Hook Tavern, Sunny’s, Pioneer Works, Strong Rope Brewery, IKEA, and Chelsea Garden Center are all part of the neighborhood’s eclectic mix.

With substantial indoor and outdoor space, a flexible two-family layout, and the unmistakable character of Red Hook, 27 Dikeman Street is a Brooklyn townhouse with room to evolve along with its next owner.
