168 Dean Street #NA

Nestled on one of Boerum Hill's best blocks, this 22' foot wide, four-story townhouse offers charming pre-war details and endless possibilities for its next owner. Currently configured as floor through apartments, this four-family brownstone could be used as an income producing property or re-imagined as a generous single family dream home. Designed in 1852 by William Alexander as part of a row of eight elegant Italianate brownstones, 168 Dean Street is distinctive from the others with its later modified neo-Greco style faade and split stoop. With 9' windows on the parlor floor, a wall of sliders on the garden level, plus an expanse of windows on the top floor overlooking the 46' south-facing garden, this brownstone is a flooded with sunlight.
