What’s a beautiful house in Crown Heights North worth these days? We have no idea, but this listing at 1265 Dean Street should help provide a data point. The four-story Romanesque Revival house is dripping with original detail, including some serious wood paneling, and is located on “one of the loveliest blocks in all of Brooklyn,” according to the Landmarks Preservation Commission. The corner location means lots of light but, on the downside, it also means higher taxes. The asking price is $925,000. Any guesses?

  1. “what is the large building to the right of the house in the first photo?”

    I live not far away. The building is a large private apartment building. Not a housing project. The block is landmarked.

    Cindy is a cutie.

  2. I don’t know this neighborhood at all, but it would have to be astonishingly terrible for that place to only be worth $813 (current brownstoner appraisal). Really gorgeous, and given how nice the parts of the interior we see are, it’s hard for me to believe the kitchens or baths are in terrible condition, though no doubt they could use some improvements.

  3. This is an amazing house! The reference though to a “renovation begun in 2001” seems ominous though. Might that be problematic for a lender?

    As someone who does not know that area well, I would be worried about the effects of foreclosures and further price drops. Don’t know if those worries are justified, but that might explain the lack of interest at that price.
