Description

Welcome home to this 1899 Belle Époque beauty—dripping with historic charm and meticulously renovated to meet 2025 standards. Set on a picturesque, tree-lined block in the heart of the Crown Heights North Historic District, 1219 Dean Street is a grand Romanesque Revival residence where original architectural details and thoughtful modern updates come seamlessly together. On the parlor level, soaring ceilings, intricate crown moldings, and oversized windows fill the home with rich natural light. Period details abound, from decorative fireplace mantels and restored original wood shutters to eight exquisite stained-glass windows, all lovingly preserved. The original parquet floors have been refinished throughout, while new flooring enhances the garden level. Spanning four stories, the home offers generous proportions on every level. The parlor floor is perfect for entertaining, with a spacious living room and formal dining room that flow into an updated kitchen and out to a private garden with a new rear deck. The chef’s kitchen features top-of-the-line appliances—including Bosch and Bertazzoni refrigerators, induction cooktops, wall-mounted ovens, dishwashers, and custom vent hoods—designed for both everyday living and effortless entertaining. Upstairs, the third floor boasts two oversized bedrooms with walk-in closets and a beautifully renovated bath with modern finishes. The top floor offers two additional large bedrooms, a third smaller bedroom, a dedicated home office, and another full bath. All three bathrooms are newly renovated with high-end fixtures, including Toto toilets. The garden level hosts a separate, fully renovated guest apartment with its own kitchen and bath—ideal for visitors, extended family, or flexible live/work use. Every system has been modernized: all-new plumbing and electrical, brand-new lighting throughout, and a high-efficiency heating and cooling system with zoned temperature control in every room. The roof has been updated with new skylights and support beams, and all windows replaced—Andersen in the rear, landmark-approved with custom moldings in the front. A new front fence enhances curb appeal, and fiber-optic internet ensures modern connectivity. This is a rare opportunity to own a truly turnkey historic brownstone where timeless elegance meets contemporary comfort. Schedule your private showing today. Listing courtesy of Compass ...
