House of the Day: 1201 Dean Street
This one-family limestone house at 1201 Dean Street in Crown Heights has a lot going for it: It’s big, has tons of beautiful old woodwork and has recently had its kitchens and bathrooms updated. The asking price is $849,000, which only comes out to about $225 a foot. You like? 1201 Dean Street [Douglas Elliman]…

MM….I’m going to look at the jefferson St. house today.
Pretty house, I think it’ll spark a bidding war and go for $1.2M.
The fact that I live a block away and said war would increase my home’s value has no bearing on my guess.
Seriously, the houses on that block are gorgeous and a lot of them show signs of work activity. I wouldn’t be surprised if a bunch of them came to market by mid-Spring.
The price discount due to being a couple of avenues away from ProsHts should make these real enticing to a family that was planning on a million for a smaller home w/ a rental unit. They could keep the whole shebang for themselves.
toilet separate from the shower/sink area is typical of european construction. imo is a great way to avoid comingling undesired odors with the steam from the shower! almost every apartment i have been into in france is setup like that, toilet separate.
Is there a staircase that ends in a bathroom where the butler’s pantry ought to be, or am I seeing things? Crazee town.
Another thing about this layout: Because it is three rooms deep with three fireplaces, that makes it very easy to turn the rear parlor room into a kitchen without sacrificing a thing. You use the middle room as a dining room and the front room as a parlor. Works perfectly.
Definitely could have done a better job with the layout, looks like the ground floor may have already lost some original walls and doors.
ah 🙂

Rob, CHN and CHS have been called such for a while. Eastern Parkway is the dividing line, which makes sense, as the 2 neighborhoods are quite different architecturally on both sides. Of course there is overlap, but most of CHS was built in the first third of the 20th century, while the majority of CHN was developed in the last half of the 19th century. They also have different demographics, different zip codes, different precincts. The LPC starting calling them as such when they wrote the initial historic designation report in 1976.
I like the way people seem to be less critical of poor reno choices when the home is, like this home, not superexpensive. If this home were asking 3M (and were in a more expensive neighborhood) the posters would be blasting some of the renovation choices. It’s good that we realize that, at lower prices, we expect lower quality renovations.
That being said, this home looks nice!
What is with one of the bathrooms, one with a terlet, and across the hall is the tub and sink, can someone explain that?
and yes, I agree, the rental should be the garden level.
I do not like the kitchen and dining room a floor apart from the living room.
