Here’s an interesting one on Dean Street one block west of the proposed Crown Heights North Historic District (see map here). At $690,000, this has got to be one of the cheaper brownstones around and could be an interesting way to play the expected landmarking. One would think that this area between Prospect Heights and the proposed Historic District would improve over time, especially as projects like Pacific Blue). As for the house itself, it’s a solid three-story, three-family with decent (though not lavish) original details. We drove past it this past weekend and the block is largely townhouses that are in pretty good shape. We bet a buyer could get a lot done with $100,000 reno in this place and could end up with a nice owner’s duplex and a one-floor rental. How about this realtor? Anyone ever dealt with Lucien Perry?

  1. I used to live at 1052 dean when i was a child back in the 80’s and 90’s. We lived there until 1997. Man i miss that place. I see that it still has the original black and white tile in the kitchens, wonder if its in the bathrooms as well. There was a huge cherry tree in the backyard and every spring the house would smell like cherry blossoms. My grandmother would plant tomatoes on the second floor fire escape and the squirrels would come steal them. I loved the hard wood floors I would go to sleep right there in the winter. Our room was right above the entrance door, I would climb out on the ledge and just look sometimes. every now and then our grandfather would let us go on the roof with him. I miss 1052 Dean. I pray who ever gets it i hope they feel the love and how special of a place it really is. Love you 1052 DEAN!!!!

  2. Well, thanks for saying that Crown Heights Proud because it’s been just about two years of construction (with tenant landlord court thrown in to deal with inherited problem tenant). I am close to finished. It is nice to hear that you are enjoying the prize. I am looking forward to that too; it is a testament to everyone (contractor, tenants and ME) that we have hung in and maintained good relationships. It is not for the faint of heart but it is worth it.
