On the garden level of an 1850s row house, this one-bedroom unit still has a marble mantel in place as well as more modern amenities. Central air is included in the rental price and there is access to laundry in a separate mudroom.<\/p>\n

The row house at 236 Dean Street sits within the Boerum Hill Historic District. According to the designation report,<\/a> it is one of a row by builder Thomas Skelly. The transitional Greek Revival\/Italianate house has a red brick facade with brownstone lintels, a brownstone front door surround, and a bracketed cornice. The iron fence along the sidewalk can also be seen in the circa 1940 tax photo<\/a>, although there appears to be a different gate.<\/p>\n

Ads from the early 20th century show the row house was a rooming house for decades; it is now set up as a two-family. This garden unit has a street-facing dining room, a galley kitchen, and bed and bath at the rear. It is a slightly quirky layout with that bedroom and bath only accessible via the kitchen.<\/p>\n

The living room has the Greek Revival-style marble mantel. There is also wainscoting and two windows.<\/p>\n

A blue and white checkerboard tile floor gives a nice punch to the kitchen. There are dark cabinets, butcher block counters, a white tile backsplash, and white appliances. Those appliances include a dishwasher.<\/p>\n

Closet space is confined to the bedroom, but there are three. The bedroom has wall-to-wall carpet and a wall of exposed brick painted white. A door leads out to the rear yard and access to the mudroom, which, according to the floor plan, holds the full-size washer and dryer as well as a utility sink.<\/p>\n

The bathroom has a shower and black and white scheme that includes white subway tile on the walls with thin black accent tiles.<\/p>\n

According to the listing, the windows are new and the kitchen and bath were renovated.<\/p>\n

Corcoran\u2019s Betty Lee has the listing and the rental is priced at $3,800 a month. Worth the ask?<\/p>\n
