Welcome home to 1447 Union Street, a lovely Flemish Revival semi-detached red brick, single family townhouse in the heart of desirable Crown Heights! This stately home, once part of a gated community of 42 homes at its conception, boasts numerous remarkable details such as original hard wood floors and moldings, an elegant center, white oak staircase, built-in window seats, bay windows, an English basement and a formal dining room with exposed ceiling beams and a decorative fireplace.
Enter this 4 bed, 1-full /2 half bath home through a conveniently enclosed porch and find yourself in the generous oak- paneled formal entry flanked by the living room to the right, formal dining room to the left and the center staircase ahead. Beyond the formal dining find a bedroom with an adjacent office, workout room or organized closet and the home's side door for easy garden access.
Up the staircase find the windowed kitchen straight ahead, the conveniently located informal dining room to left for everyday meals and the family room/den to the right.
The spacious informal dining room offers a lovely south facing bay window and access to the balcony perfect for lounging.
The family room offers a wide open space with high ceilings, a large, lovely curved bay window and a continuous window seat below. Get into a good book here or just enjoy your morning coffee in peace before you begin your day.
One of the half bathrooms is right off the family room as well as a room currently used as a pantry.
Up to the third floor find three nicely sized bedrooms and the generous, full hallway bathroom offering a tub. The ample primary bedroom to the left, offers a wall of south facing windows and the other two bedrooms to the right are also spacious with generous closets.
The vast, full length English basement is a blank slate and can be whatever you envision. A kids' playroom, gym or a work space are all within the realm of possibility. The windowed laundry room is also located in the basement and offers the doorway from the basement to the side of the house.
This is the perfect opportunity to purchase an expansive Brooklyn townhouse in much sought after Crown Heights where you can grow your family and design your dream home. This home also offers the possibility for a driveway with a DOB/DOT curb cut permit request, as many have done on this block.
