240 Dean Street is a rare gem of a townhouse located on a picture-perfect block in Boerum Hill. This delightful two-family wood frame house was built in 1858 in the Italianate style. Pass through the wrought-iron gate, enter the foyer and up one flight to the owner’s triplex. The living room has historic floor-to-ceiling windows accented with lovely stained glass overlooking the quiet, tree-lined Dean Street. The spacious living room includes a wall of built-in book shelves facing a cozy marble mantlepiece. A bright and pleasant kitchen with stainless steel appliances occupies the center area with a large, sunny dining room that opens onto a private deck for your south-facing enjoyment. Outdoor stairs lead down to a deep backyard garden with brick paving and perimeter planting. From the kitchen area, take the graceful center staircase up to the bedroom floor. Two smaller rooms face the back yard, with a large, primary bedroom featuring beautiful, Palladian windows and an ensuite powder room gracing the front of the home. This floor also has a full bathroom and a secret stair to the attic studio, which is perfect for a home office, exercise room, overflow guests, play room or creative pursuits. There is a large convenient storage space as well. At ground level is a large income producing 1-bedroom rental which duplexes down to the windowed basement level, ideal as a studio or rec space. 240 Dean Street is close to some of Brooklyn’s favorite restaurants: enjoy the excellent Rucola one block away, French Louie’s or Grand Army for oysters and cocktails just around the corner. Some of the best shopping Brooklyn has to offer can be found just two blocks away on Atlantic Avenue, and nearly every subway line is within 4 blocks.
