398 Dean Street
398 Dean Street is a circa 1860's Italianate North Slope brick two-family townhouse in arguably the most convenient and vibrant part of the north Slope.
This charming 20 foot two unit home features an owners upper triplex that effortlessly blends period details with abundant space, light, and modern style and amenities. Upon arriving, you'll come up a tall stoop and through beautifully carved double doors and a private foyer. On the parlor floor, where the ceilings soar 12 feet high, you'll find a sprawling living room with full-height windows, an original ornamental marble fireplace and mantle, custom millwork, and intricate hand-carved plaster moldings. Grand arched pocket doors lead to a spacious windowed chef's kitchen equipped with all new high-end stainless steel appliances, including a professional-grade six-burner gas range and hood and Bosch dishwasher, exposed brick backsplash, soapstone countertop, and dual pantries for maximum storage potential as well as ample space for a dining table. A glass door with a transom above opens to a large newly refinished private deck, perfect for entertaining and everyday life. Steps lead down to a beautiful sunny south-facing garden, which is a wonderfully private and tranquil oasis from the bustle of Brooklyn. The garden is freshly landscaped and designed with low-maintenance bluestone pavers and pea gravel surrounded by an array of lush plantings.
The second level boasts two king-size bedrooms, each with a trio of windows, two generous closets, and a spa-like bath with a contemporary vanity, deep soaking tub, and custom tilework along with a separate water closet. The primary bedroom offers a roomy sleeping alcove and charming exposed brick. Original wide-plank pine floors add a touch of rustic warmth to this level. An additional flight of stairs ascends to the newly carpeted third level where you will find two generously proportioned bedrooms, a cozy office alcove, two closets, and an oversized tiled bath with a large window. Each bedroom is adorned with its own decorative marble fireplace and bathed in natural sunlight.
The tenants unit (will be delivered vacant) is the perfect floor-through studio unit and features a renovated eat-in kitchen, large tiled bath, hardwood floors throughout, decorative fireplace, laundry, and spacious back patio. The floor-through arrangement boasts a favorable layout with a large living/sleeping area and an oversized eat-in kitchen with direct access to the back garden.
For storage and laundry, you'll follow the stairs down to the basement with a new full-size washer/dryer and utility sink and ample storage.
Nestled on a convenient tree-lined North Slope block, this meticulously maintained historic townhouse is positioned just one block from multiple transit lines (2/3/4/5/ B/D/N/R/Q at Pacific) and within close proximity to Atlantic Terminal, Barclays Center, numerous restaurants, cafes, bars, and shops on 5th Avenue and Flatbush Avenue, and more.
