This 1899 Belle Époque townhouse at 1219 Dean Street stands out, even along the blocks of ornate homes in the Crown Heights North Historic District. Within, the original architecture has been preserved to provide a backdrop for modern design-led renovations. Asking $3,500,000, the 5,000-square-foot, four-story townhouse includes a separate garden suite with access to a private backyard.
On all four stories, 21st-century infrastructure supports historic beauty. New plumbing, electrical, fiber optic internet, and lighting have been installed throughout; a high-efficiency heating and cooling system means zoned temperature control; the roof, skylights, and windows have all been replaced.
The parlor floor is the home’s showpiece, opening beneath 11-foot ceilings and crown moldings. Additional details include decorative fireplace mantels, and original wood shutters on windows of stained glass. Original parquet floors have been refinished to a radiant glow.
A large living room and formal dining room introduce a colorful, contemporary kitchen. Capable appliances include Bosch and Bertazzoni refrigerators, induction cooktops, wall-mounted ovens, dishwashers, and custom vent hoods. At the back is a newly constructed deck that overlooks the verdant private garden below.
Upstairs are two floors of bedrooms. On the third floor are two large chambers with walk-in closets. A large full bath has a luxurious step-in shower with a separate soaking tub. On the top floor are two more large bedrooms, a smaller room, and a cozy, sun-filled home office, served by another renovated full bath.
On the single-family home’s garden level is a fully renovated apartment with a sleek, modern kitchen and full bath. This private, self-contained suite is perfect for guests or extra family space. The home’s cellar offers the convenience of a washer/dryer.
