920 Union Street, 2-F

AN UNBELIEVABLE VALUE AT GRAND ARMY PLAZA Dont miss this very rare opportunity to own this two bedroom duplex in one of the most unique buildings in Park Slope. (Offering plan designates this as a 1.5 bedroom unit. Owners make no representation as to the legal use of the extra room as a bedroom.) This home, designed with a minimalist approach, combines loft living with a conventional bedroom option. The entrance on the second floor welcomes you to an expansive living space with soaring ceilings and a wall of northeast-facing windows overlooking the iconic Soldiers and Sailors Arch in the Grand Army Plaza. From here you also have the full view of the Brooklyn Public Library Building, the main entrance to Prospect Park, and the mesmerizing concentric roadways of the Plaza. Sunlight pours in and highlights the meticulous renovations throughout including reveal detail on doors, cable-railing staircase and designer lighting systems. This open space is ideal for entertaining as the kitchen surveys a dining area that can accommodate a 12-person dining table. You dont have to be a chef to appreciate the ultra-sleek, white-on-white U-shaped kitchen. The Caesarstone countertop offers an impressive length of premium counter space with breakfast-bar seating while sandstone tiles create a stunning backsplash. Appliances include Bertazonni range, Bosch dishwasher, Fisher and Paykal refrigerator, a sleek KWC faucet and more. Surrounding this stainless-steel combo are swanky floor to ceiling cabinets offering fantastic kitchen storage space. Behind a frosted-glass door by the entryway is a darling decked-out half-bath outfitted with a wall-mounted Duravit toilet, custom lighting and marble floors. In contrast to the open space upstairs, the first floor is more intimate. The large windows of the en-suite master bedroom looks out to the Plaza as well, and with top-down/bottom-up shades, you can enjoy privacy while letting in the sun. The room is king-size worthy and a built-in desk allows this space to be configured as a home office as well. Continuing the minimalist aesthetic, the master bath is simple and clean. Marble floors complement the walls which are furnished with Porcelanosa tiles and features a deep soaking tub outfitted with top-notch shower fixtures and curtain ceiling track. Adjacent to the master bedroom is another room which is now being used as an entertainment center. This space has experienced many transformations - home office, guest room, gym and nursery. It is not a legal bedroom as the stairs lead directly into this space and it cannot be closed off. Nonetheless, it has served as a second bedroom most of the time. A Bosch washer and dryer is housed behind one of the cabinet doors here. There are three very large built-in closets throughout the apartment and a storage nook under the stairs. In the basement, a storage cubby is designated to each apartment and the bike room is organized with wall-hook storage. In terms of storage space per square foot, this is hard to beat. 920 Union Street is a 16-unit co-op with which sees very low re-sale activity. The elevator building is nestled behind a black iron gate and is one of the few gated residences of this size in Park Slope. It is the closest residential building to the entrance of Prospect Park (it takes only 20 seconds to get there if you catch the light.) There is always excitement nearby and on Saturdays, Brooklyn's best farmer's market with farm-fresh vegetables is just 500 feet away. Botanic Gardens and Brooklyn Museum is just down the street. This pet-friendly building has many transportation options: a four minute walk to the 2,3 trains and an additional two minutes to the B, Q line. Citibike rack is across the street. 920 Union has solid financials with a strong reserve fund and no upcoming assessments. Lighting fixtures throughout the apartment (by Luceplan, Jamie Young Co., CSL and Restoration Hardware) are included.
