229 Dean Street is a transformed 21-foot-wide two-family Italianate townhouse in the Boerum Hill historic district that has been fully renovated, meticulously maintained, and modernized with the utmost attention to detail. Every aspect of this home, from the layout and design to the fixtures and systems, has been thoughtfully considered to create a seamless blend of form and function.
A dramatic double-height foyer channels sunlight throughout the home, and the landing features greenery that enhances the warm, natural ambiance. The parlor floor features a porcelain-tiled floor entryway, welcoming you into a beautifully curated, open-plan space. The airy south-facing dining room boasts a ceiling height of 10 feet 7 inches and original shutters, restored and in place. The professional-grade kitchen features top-of-the-line stainless steel appliances seamlessly integrated into a modern design, complemented by a Caesarstone waterfall countertop and breakfast bar. White oak wide-plank hardwood floors add warmth and texture throughout the space. The living room features a floor-to-ceiling glass wall connecting the interior to the garden terrace, flooding the space with natural light and providing a tranquil view of lush greenery. The seamless integration of indoor and outdoor elements brings life and softness to the modern architecture, demonstrating the creative vision behind the renovation.
The second floor has been designed with both function and serenity in mind. Two lovely, spacious bedrooms with great light and large closets are located at the front and back of the house, separated by a laundry room. The bedrooms share a sleek windowed bathroom with a walk-in shower and a soaking tub.
The top floor is devoted to a luxurious primary suite and home office. This expansive retreat offers a generous sitting area, space for a king bed, and a custom-built dressing room filled with light from large windows. The spa-like primary bath is clad in marble tile and features radiant heated floors, a Caesarstone vanity, and a spacious walk-in shower. The bath’s oversized window ensures the space remains bright and inviting.
Outdoor living is elevated with a unique private rooftop terrace, one of three outdoor areas in the home. A raised vegetable garden allows for fresh, homegrown produce, and the roof offers a uniquely peaceful space for morning coffee or a quiet rest.
On the garden floor, a one-bedroom rental unit with its own entrance presents a compelling income opportunity, a guest suite, space for visiting in-laws, or an au pair apartment. This well-appointed apartment features a generous living area, a full kitchen, and an in-unit washer and dryer, making it an attractive and functional addition to the property.
229 Dean Street is more than a home—it’s a meticulously crafted urban sanctuary that masterfully combines modern living with comfort, light, and serenity.
