We have no idea how much historic detail was intact before the developer of 543 Dean Street in Prospect Heights got crackin’ on his modern reno, but suffice it to say there is certainly none now. That said, the design and construction quality on this job looks to us to be a cut above average—but not by much. The four units, which range in size from 935 to 1,440 square feet, are all priced at about $800 a foot, a heck of a lot more than a house in the area, but then that’s par for the course. (For what it’s worth, the developer paid $825,000 for the house in early 2005 and the total of the four asking prices is $3,925,000.) The elephant in the room, of course, is everybody’s favorite decade-long construction project known as Atlantic Yards. Only time will tell how big a hurdle that will be in trying to move these babies.
