Prilika čeka na 1387 Union Street

Rijetka ponuda u srcu Crown Heightsa, ova kuća u stilu renesansnog obnavljanja kombinira majstorstvo s početka 20. stoljeća s cijenjenim pristupom, privatnim prilazom dugim 59 stopa i odvojenim garažom—sve rjeđim sadržajem u Brooklynu. Jednako privlačna kao san svakog krajnjeg korisnika ili za oštri pogled developera, dom predstavlja zaista posebnu priliku.

Izgrađena 1901. godine i smještena na prevelikom zemljištu dimenzija 27' x 87.5', 1387 Union Street je polu-priključena kuća obložena vapnencem, koja se ističe prednjim dijelom u obliku bačve, cvjetnim detaljima i ukrašenim željeznim vijencom—oznake svoje arhitektonske ere. S tri izloženosti (sjever, jug i istok), interijeri su svijetli, prostrani i bogati izvornošću.

Pravno je to kuća za dvije obitelji, trenutno konfigurirana kao jednosobna rezidencija koja nudi jednostavnu konverziju natrag u dvokatnicu s vrtom, svaki s privatnim ulazom. Ima više od 6 spavaćih soba, 2 puna kupaonice i 2 pola kupaonice raspoređene na tri kata, s visinom stropova na gornjoj etaži iznad 10 stopa.

Razina salona impresionira od samog početka: izvorna dupla ulazna vrata s transom vode do prostranog predvorja, formalne blagovaonice s kaminom, prevelike dnevne sobe također s kaminom, i velike kuhinje za objedovanje. Na gornjoj etaži, prozor od vitraža krasi hodnik koji vodi do četiri spavaće sobe i dvije kupaonice. Razina vrta uključuje prostrani dnevni prostor, pomoćne prostore i fleksibilne sobe koje se mogu lako preurediti u stan s 2 spavaće sobe i 1,5 kupaonica.
Kroz cijelu kuću, zadržan je njen arhitektonski duh—vitraži, raskošni drveni radovi, stropni medaljoni, ugrađeni elementi i prolazi, neo-klasične kamine i grandiozno stepenište s izrezbarenim završetkom i zavrnjenim balustersima.

Vanjski sadržaji ono su što zaista izdvaja ovu nekretninu. Pristup i dugi prilaz vode do velike garaže koja ima pravo na rad—rijetka i vrijedna imovina koja nudi uzbudljiv potencijal kao odvojena kućna kancelarija, studio, radionica ili prostor za vrt. Iza toga, privatno dvorište od 350 četvornih stopa nudi mirni vanjski kutak.

S dobro održavanom fasadom, čvrstim krovom i plinskim bojlerom, 1387 Union Street spremna je za svoje sljedeće poglavlje. Posebna prilika za obnovu ili reinvenciju, u susjedstvu bogatom poviješću i dobro povezanu s vlakovima 2/3/4/5 i grandioznim šetalištem Eastern Parkwaya.

Opportunity Awaits at 1387 Union Street

A rare offering in the heart of Crown Heights, this Renaissance Revival townhouse combines early 20th-century craftsmanship with a coveted curb cut, 59-foot private driveway, and a detached garage—an increasingly scarce amenity in Brooklyn. Equally attractive as an end user’s dream project or for a developer’s keen eye, the home presents a truly special opportunity.

Built in 1901 and set on an oversized 27' x 87.5' lot, 1387 Union Street is a semi-attached, limestone-clad home featureing a barrel front, floral detailing, and an ornate iron cornice—hallmarks of its architectural era. With three exposures (north, south, and east), the interiors are bright, spacious, and rich with original detail.

Legally a two-family, the home is currently configured as a single-family residence and offers easy conversion back to an upper owner’s duplex with a garden-level apartment, each with private entry. There are 6+ bedrooms, 2 full baths, and 2 half baths across three floors with upper floor ceilings over 10 feet high.

The parlor level impresses from the start: original double entry doors with transom lead to a gracious foyer, formal dining room with fireplace, oversized living room also with fireplace, and a large eat-in kitchen. On the upper floor, a stained glass skylight crowns a hall leading to four bedrooms and two baths. The garden level includes a large living space, utility areas, and flexible rooms that can easily serve as a 2-bedroom, 1.5-bath apartment.
Throughout, the home retains its architectural soul—stained glass, ornate woodwork, ceiling medallions, built-ins and pass-throughs, neo-Classical mantels, and a grand stair with carved newel and turned balusters.

The outdoor amenities are what truly set this property apart. The curb cut and long driveway lead to a large, grandfathered garage—a rare and valuable asset that offers exciting potential as a detached home office, studio, workshop, or garden room. Just beyond, a private 350-square-foot yard offers a quiet outdoor retreat.

With a well-maintained facade, sound roof, and gas boiler, 1387 Union Street is ready for its next chapter. A special opportunity for restoration or reinvention, in a neighborhood steeped in history and well-connected by the 2/3/4/5 trains and Eastern Parkway’s grand promenade.
