This light-filled 21-foot wide townhouse comprises four stories plus a full cellar and includes an open and verdant backyard. Coming home to 217 Dean Street you’ll ascend a tall brownstone stoop to the parlor floor, where the ceilings soar and south facing double-height windows bring sunlight deep into the house throughout the day. The original newel post and staircase harken back to the house’s origins as an elegant single-family home designed for entertaining and easeful living. Upstairs you’ll find five bedrooms, two bathrooms, and two original fireplace mantels, one crafted from marble and the other slate. On the garden level, the front room is framed by exposed brick and ceiling joists and overlooks the front garden, which comes alive with blooms much of the year. At the rear, the kitchen steps out to a sunny and leafy backyard that feels worlds away from the bustle of Brooklyn — a peaceful retreat for entertaining, barbecuing, or unwinding at the end of the day. 217 Dean Street sits on a quiet tree-lined block at the center of the Brownstone neighborhoods that have made Brooklyn famous. The renowned restaurants, boutiques, parks, and other amenities of Boerum Hill, Cobble Hill, Brooklyn Heights, Carroll Gardens, Fort Greene and Park Slope are all close by. Several subway lines are just a few blocks away for a quick commute to Manhattan and anywhere in the city. Bring your architect and contractor to this classic Boerum Hill townhouse and make it the backdrop for your next chapter in Brooklyn. ## Property Details - **Property Type**: Multi Family - **Beds**: 5 - **Baths**: 3 - **Rooms**: 12 - **Sqft**: 3,780 sqft - **Stories**: 4 - **Year Built**: 1852 - **Price per Sqft**: $992 - **Monthly Taxes**: $769 / mo - **Listed On**: May 26, 2026 - **Days on Market**: 109 Days ### Residence Features - See Remarks ## Sales Evidence ### How this price compares The median closed price for comparable house sales in Boerum Hill is $5,095,000, based on 13 sales between August 2022 and August 2026. This home is asking $3,750,000, $1,345,000 below that median. The middle half of those sales closed between $3,505,000 and $7,500,000. - **Median closed price**: $5,095,000 - **Middle half**: $3,505,000 – $7,500,000 - **Based on**: 13 house sales in Boerum Hill - **Period**: August 2022 – August 2026 - **Median $/ft²**: $1,147/ft² Across the 12 of these sales with a published asking price, the median closed at 97.7% of what it originally asked. 58% of them closed below the original ask. A house is not part of a building of comparable apartments, so this benchmark is drawn from house sales across Boerum Hill. Apartment sales are excluded from it entirely. ### How these sales were negotiated - **Sold vs original ask**: 97.7% of the original ask - **Closed below ask**: 58% of 12 sales - **Listed → in contract**: 67 days (about 10 weeks) - **In contract → closed**: 76 days (about 11 weeks) Across the 12 of these sales with a published asking price, the median closed at 97.7% of what it originally asked. 58% of them closed below the original ask. Half of these homes were in contract within 67 days (about 10 weeks) of coming to market, based on the 13 with a recorded listing date. Once a deal was agreed, closing took a further 76 days (about 11 weeks), based on the 12 with both dates recorded. These are two separate periods measured on different clocks — time to find a buyer, and time from agreed deal to closing. They are medians of different sets of sales and do not add together into a single "days on market" figure. Based on 13 house sales in Boerum Hill, August 2022 – August 2026. Each figure counts only the sales that recorded the dates it needs, which is why the denominators differ. Sale prices are the consideration recorded with the City in ACRIS, and each sale is dated by the day the City recorded it. A closing date reported to the MLS typically falls one to two weeks earlier. Recorded sales describe what has already happened and are not an appraisal, a valuation, or an estimate of what this home will sell for.

We calculated the tax for those years using the prior year’s rate, so treat them as an estimate rather than a figure the City has adopted. Every rate without the Estimated marker is the published one. Tax Assessment is the assessed value on the City’s roll, and it is the figure other listing sites publish. It is not what the bill is calculated on. New York phases assessment changes in gradually for some tax classes, so the City bills the Billable Value shown beside it, less any exemption the owner holds. It usually trails the assessment, and it can sit above it for a few years after an assessment falls. Figures are the New York City Department of Finance assessment roll for tax lot 3001900053. Assessed and billable values are determined by the City for tax purposes and are not an appraisal or an estimate of market value. Tax classes and rates are set annually and can change.
