House of the Day: 1230 Dean Street
As careful a renovation as the owner of 1230 Dean Street did, this place had no business being listed at $1,650,000. Which is why, after six weeks, the asking price has been reduced to $1,499,000. Unfortunately, we suspect that the three-car garage and landscaped garden won’t be enough to get the deal done at this…

But don’t feel too bad for the sellers—after all, they bought the place for $427,450 back in 2004.

These beautiful blocks in CH must be hidden because whenever I drive along Atlantic it looks bleak, bleak, bleak.
And when heading along Atlantic with my back to Flatbush Ave I look out the right side but never catch site of anything close to nice. Best that can be said is that it looks marginally better than what I see when I look left.
I know, I know, I have to take right turn and check out all the pockets of goodness that are hidden in there.
Brooklyn Native — about park place, their broker told our broker the sellers accepted an offer.
regarding the superior location on dean, we were advised to go near eastern parkway, not necessarily historic district. is this an ignorant point of view?
Looks like a nice reno except for that godawful kitchen floor. Don’t spill any water in there unless you want a broken neck. I also have a hard time seeing it sell for this price in today’s market. The block is nice and the house is unique, but I just don’t see the neighborhood having the comps to support that price, and the shortage of bathrooms has to count against it, esp since it doesn’t look like there’s any place to put another one (maybe in the basement?).
wait…there’s a WHITE CASTLE IN THE BACKYARD!!??
i take it back.
this place, i want!
“Hell, my friend in Prospect Heights near Washington Ave has already been mugged on his doorstep and he hasn’t been there two years yet.”
I’ve lived in Crown Heights since 2001, and never been close to being mugged. But I guess I’m just the type of guy people don’t want to try mugging. You “friend,” on the other hand, sounds like some kind of special target.
4.16. Was referring more to the aesthetics of Atlantic being comparable to South Bronx, not the level of crime. In my mind, blight-wise, they are comparable.
That stretch of Atlantic Ave is truly unfortunate. I love CH but I do think the elevated track takes away from the overall loveliness of the nabe. If the elevated tracks can just be submerged (as it is to the east and west) the strip would be much brighter and positive development would have a chance. The area would even be safer without the shadow of the el hovering. All that said, it would not stop me from buying into CH.
That’s the backyard of the yellow Lefferts house, which can be seen from Atlantic Avenue at White Castle. Not the Dean St. house.

Guest at 4:19, one block. You can see the backyard of this house from the parking lot of the White Castle on Atlantic.
