There’s not a lot of new construction going on in Crown Heights North these days (please let us know about any projects you do know of), but there are some brownstone conversions for condo hunters to look at. There’s a new five-unit conversion in the beautiful five-story limestone house at 1296 Dean Street. Except for the fact that there are no preserved interior details (and, who knows, there may not have been any left to preserve), it looks like the developer did an okay job on the conversion. Nuthin’ special, but nothing stupid either. The one- and two-bedrooms range in price from $450,000 to $550,000, which means the owner’s looking to gross about $2.5 million, a solid million bucks more than the house would command on its own as a one- or two-family. Expect to see more of these. Anyone make it to the open house yesterday?
