Description

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.
