This new-construction two-family townhouse at 819 Dean Street at the convergence of Prospect Heights, Clinton Hill, and Crown Heights has 4,615 square feet of indoor living space, too many outdoor areas to count, and sunlight in every direction. Instantly recognizable on a classic Brooklyn block, the new steel-structured modern home has a handmade brick facade protected by a fiber cement rain screen. Asking $4,950,000, the two units consist of a 3,600-square-foot owner’s triplex, a 1,200-square-foot garden flat, and a finished cellar.
The townhouse contains a total of five bedrooms, a den and office space, six full baths, and three dedicated storage rooms. For outdoor living, there are three terraces and two private backyards.
The upper triplex is anchored by the living and dining level. Dramatic architectural details include high ceilings, glass French doors, pale oak flooring, and a skylit sculptural stair that winds its way to the roof.
A modern European-style kitchen offers integrated premium appliances wrapped with pale wood cabinets. A white stone island anchors the space for casual dining. At one end, a large dining space gets outdoor views from a wall of French doors that open onto a large patio.
Up the wide, curving plaster-and-wood stair, the primary suite has a dramatic trio of French doors and a balcony. A marble-clad bath offers a soaking tub and dual showers. There is a second corner bedroom on this floor as well.
The home’s top floor is a dazzling solarium-style space, with a bedroom and full bath. On either side, there’s access to a huge roof deck with neighborhood views.
Back down on the garden level is a newly-minted two-bedroom-plus-office apartment with zoned heating and A/C. The open, light-filled living space accesses a private backyard. Below, a finished cellar adds 530 square feet of storage space.
