House of the Day: 1232 Dean Street
This four-story house at 1232 Dean Street in Crown Heights just hit the market and, like so many houses in the area, has some killer architectural details. (In this case, it’s the wood paneling and built-ins that really impress.) Hopefully for the seller, this place will attract more interest than the next-door neighbor at 1230…

(In this case, it’s the wood paneling and built-ins that really impress.) Hopefully for the seller, this place will attract more interest than the next-door neighbor at 1230 Dean Street, which we featured a year ago and is still on the market for $1,250,000. While we suspect there will be plenty of people who dig the house, we suspect that the price tag of $999,000 for a house in this neighborhood may be a tough sell in this economic environment.

Sorry guys but this house scares the crap out of me and the kitchen is where the murders would happen.
I don’t understand the floorplan. How many families were in this “multifamily” dwelling? What is the story with the 3 kitchens and 2 bathrooms? Was this a SRO? Anybody have a clue?
oh, ditto…you pick up where Biff left off!
TOUT!!!!
I’m going to go check it out. Depends how much work this needs, I might be interested. Look for the Caddy parked in the driveway!
NOP…that’s better!! I’ll be sure to use the negative ‘pseudo-iron fences’ when I’m negotiating price. 🙂
nothing is going to happen north of a 700K handle on this one right now. if you think otherwise then you’re lacking objectivity.
BRG,
You gonna buy this house?
What you gonna to do with all that space?
That library room is a real beauty.
Can’t beat it with a stick.
That’s the kind of feature that is so important in an historic property. You can always put in new toilets and new kitchen cupboards. But you can’t put in that kind of woodwork and detailing.
BRG – If you’re really interested at $800K you should tout that offer.
I’m sure NOP isn’t as taut as he used to be if he’s that old 😉 (as always NOP, your historical perspective is always appreciated).
Okay, Bay Ridge Girl. Then let me offer up a complaint.
On a drive through the neighborhood, I noticed that the Presbyterian and Seventh-Day Adventist churches have cordoned themselves off with pseudo-iron fences. These add nothing to their architectural quality, and should keep prices low throughout Crown Heights. When I grew up, these buildings’ wonderfully rich facades cascaded right to the sidewalks, giving us places to nestle or play handball (probably why they put up the fences!).
Happy?
😉

Montrose Morris is going to get you killed! The houses there are beautiful but the area is not. The youngins are into training exercises and honing their craft! I would think about buying in that part of the hood now, because our economic situations will not get better in 2009. And please don’t say I’m trying to stir fear, that’s life around that area…
The What (But.. But.. not in the face..)
Someday this war is gonna end…
NOP, sure, come on here and taut the neighborhood’s grand architecture. Can you at least wait, till I buy something in the nabe, before you declare it a gem full of wonderful homes.
NOP…ssshhhh. This neighbrohood is beautiful, let it be our secret!
🙂
