Description

For the first time in over 40 years 1609 Union Street is now on the market and can be restored to its original glory! This 19th Century 20 x 55 two family barrel front brownstone is located on a beautiful tree lined block in burgeoning Crown Heights and is a massive 3,300 sf +. The landscaped front and back gardens are lovingly cared for and highlighted with Japanese maple trees. The building is full of charming original details such as coffered ceilings, parquet floors, skylight, original doors, French doors, wainscoting and crown moldings. The building's mechanicals and extremities have been well maintained and there have been some recent updates over the past few years. Currently configured as two 2 bedroom 1 bath units with an English basement used as a laundry room. Bring your contractor and imagination to reconfigure into a duplex with the English basement and a two bedroom rental or transform into an amazingly spacious single family home. Situated just a few blocks from tranquil Lincoln Terrace Park with quick and easy access to Manhattan as the 3 Local and 4 Express trains are a block away.
