Property Details
Description
IN CONTRACT. Adorning one of the most picturesque blocks in Park Slope, 865 Union exemplifies the artistic heritage and cultural fabric of this fabled neighborhood. The residence has just been meticulously renovated with beautiful modern finishes, yet retains its original character and pedigree with museum quality turn-of-the-century detail. Historically significant, this light and airy 20' wide neo-Grec brownstone was built over 1884-85 by Park Slope builder-architect John Magilligan. Built 4 stories and full-height with a gorgeous bay accenting the front of the building, with a deep, paneled roof cornice accented by a heavy gracious stoop and original hand-railings. Exquisite mahogany wood, oversized Pier mirrors, original in-laid flooring throughout and fantastic banisters complete with original finials surround you from the moment you enter the front doors. With three exposures; the restored & original stained glass windows on the West side of the building bathe the middle of the house in light. The beautifully appointed brand-new kitchen, traditionally featured on the garden level, is completed by ebony floors, new white cabinetry, custom millwork, creamy quartz countertops and glass backsplash. The windowed master bath with original stained glass was custom designed and is spa-like in every way. Basket-weave marble flooring, an oversized soaking tub, double sinks with marble top and separate stall shower with glass enclosure and nickel fixtures throughout are luxurious and in keeping with the period of this house. Many modern conveniences have been seamlessly added to this home, such as two washer/dryers (one on the lower level and one on the 3rd floor), a wet bar, the master bathroom and chefs kitchen as well as the custom built master walk-in closet. The professionally landscaped garden and deck off the formal dining room is most private and lush. This tranquil setting is simply perfect for any size gathering or a simple family meal al fresco. 865 Union Street is a home for all seasons. Historic luxury in the heart of the North Slope.
