Property Description
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.
