749 Union Street, 3-L

Dramatic design and luxurious finishes abound in this bespoke two bed, one bath co-op, featured in Architectural Digest and Lonny Magazine for its recent renovation. The classic brownstone floor-through was completely overhauled by BHDM Design just three years ago, receiving a brand new kitchen and bath, refinished hardwood floors in a polished high gloss white, custom hardware and lighting throughout, and raised closet, bedroom and bathroom entries to accommodate 8 ft statement doors, highlighting the home's soaring ceilings.
Upon entering, one notices the impressive Serge Mouille inspired light fixture used to marry the two focal points of the room: a floor to ceiling bay window with original molding and pocket shutters offering streaming Southern light, and a white bricked, working, wood burning, fireplace with custom built-in bookcases. The adjacent dining nook is light and airy and anchored by an equally stunning contemporary brushed brass chandelier from Studio L.A. The kitchen lies just beyond and features high gloss gray cabinets accented by brushed brass finishes, with a black honed marble counter and herringbone backsplash adding a certain level of luxury. The appliances include a Liebherr refrigerator, Bertazzoni range and Bosch dishwasher, all less than three years old and still under warranty. A large closet is conveniently located off the kitchen, and doubles as a pantry and additional storage space. The spa like bathroom features an oversized walk-in rain shower, striking black and white Mexican cement tiles, a large vanity with marble counter and a linen closet. The king sized master bedroom benefits from double exposures and tree-top views from oversized windows, all with original molding and custom wooden blinds. The generously sized second bedroom is highlighted by a custom built in corner bookcase and also features custom wooden blinds. Both bedrooms come with ample closet space and are nestled in the back of the apartment, offering a quiet and secluded retreat. A brand new, vented, washer and dryer are located in the unit off the long gallery like hallway, and 121 sq ft storage space completes the picture! 749 Union Street is a truly lovely 8 unit, pet friendly, co-op in the heart of Park Slope. The self managed building is impeccably maintained, with an underlying mortgage expiring in 2018, resulting in a very low $650 maintenance fee. While self managed, garbage removal and light custodial work is included as is heat and hot water. Each unit has their own deeded storage space in the basement, where there is also common bike storage with direct street access for regular riders. Located just one block from the R or a 10 minute walk to Atlantic Terminal/Barclays Center gets you anywhere you want to be, although the ideal intersection of Union and 5th with all of the wonderful shops, restaurants and amenities at your doorstep, not to mention hip and trendy Gowanus in one direction and Prospect Park with it's Farmer's Market in the other, may have you never wanting to leave!
