Property Description for 889 Union Street, Garden

Step into spring with your very own large private garden, a renovated and flexible duplex layout, and charming historic detail, on the ground floor of an intimate Richardsonian Romanesque style townhouse that has been converted into a 4-unit coop right in the center of Park Slopes best amenities. Currently used as a two-bedroom upstairs, and guest room/home office downstairs, the flexible layout offers multiple options that work for many needs, whether you work at home, or simply need multiple sleeping or work spaces. Set back from the street for privacy by an oversized front garden, this special home has been lovingly restored by its current owner and features stunning hand-carved window and door moldings, inlaid wood floors, a walk-in master closet, garden-facing bay-windows, and a breathtaking decorative wood and marble mantelpiece. An open and renovated chefs kitchen includes a Jenn-Air stainless range, glass and wood custom cabinetry, and a handmade ceramic tile backsplash that lends the apartment a homey country feel. It opens into a spacious dining and living room that flows perfectly into the oversized private backyard, where all of your gardening and outdoor entertaining dreams will come true. The renovated bath features a striking Blue Danby marble countertop, custom wood vanity and handmade decorative tile throughout. The coop itself offers ample basement storage, washer/dryer, and more curb appeal than you can imagine. Located right down the hill from Prospect Park and the Greenmarket, between 7th and 8th avenues, the Park Slope coop, express and local subways, and more restaurants and amenities than you can imagine.

Park Slope | Brooklyn

Quick Profile

Boasting beautiful tree-lined streets, brownstones and a range of activities for all age groups, Park Slope is consistently ranked as one of New York’s most desirable neighborhoods. Filled with lush parks and greenery, the neighborhood is also known for its rare combination of excellent public schools, award-winning restaurants, nightlife, small independently owned businesses and community gardens.

Situated at the western slope of Prospect Park, the neighborhood is divided into different sections: North Slope, Center Slope and South Slope. Depending on who you ask, of course, the definitions of where these borders end and begin may vary (is the divide between North and Center deemed Union Street, Garfield Place, 1st Street or 3rd Street? The one between Center and South 6th Street, 9th Street, 11th Street or 15th Street?). 

Regardless of what part of the Slope you find yourself on, there’s no shortage of architectural beauty. From row houses to brownstones to mansions, the idyllic setting of the neighborhood is further enhanced by its Romanesque and Renaissance Revival styles. Case in point of this is also two of the area’s most well-known churches, Park Slope United Methodist Church and Saint Augustine Roman Catholic Church. 

Revered for its family-friendly appeal, Park Slope is often regarded as one of the best places to raise a family in New York City. That said, it doesn’t mean that parents don’t know how to have a good time... a slew of bars constantly opening in the neighborhood ranging from the high-end cocktail saloon to the dive (well, by Park Slope standards, anyway).
