1632 Union Street

An incredible, two unit home containing an upper duplex and garden rental, each with flawless finishes and access to relaxing private outdoor spaces, this gracious property is set on a tree-lined street in Crown Heights. The owner's upper duplex opens into the sweeping parlor floor, where the ample living/dining area is anchored by a striking, re-interpreted grand staircase. A wall of windows and glass doors leading to the backyard send light streaming into the gorgeous chef's kitchen, which is outfitted with a French-door refrigerator, ceaserstone countertops and ample cabinets. Upstairs, there are three nicely sized bedrooms with treetop views and custom closets. The bathrooms in this home are modern masterpieces in gray and white, featuring floor-to-ceiling tile, high-tech showerheads and oversized sinks in sleek vanity cabinets. Downstairs, the garden-level, two-bedroom unit features a large living room and can easily fetch above market-rate rent for the neighborhood. The home features recessed lighting and central air conditioning, plus all-new plumbing and electrical throughout. The thoughtful gut renovation also included a complete restoration of the stunning brownstone facade and front railings. Live in Crown Heights, where the best of Brooklyn is all within walking distance. Brower Park, with its expansive green space and playgrounds, is just around the corner, along with the venerable Brooklyn Children's Museum, and the Jewish Children's Museum is just a few blocks away. Popular eateries like Basil Pizza & Wine Bar and Boeuf & Bun line nearby Kingston Avenue, while you're two blocks from the rapidly developing restaurant/cafe scene on Nostrand. Stroll down majestic Eastern Parkway to Prospect Park or hop right on the 3 train, ushering you into the city in 20 minutes.
