Property Description for 865 Union Street
865 Union Street Adorning one of the most picturesque blocks in Park Slope, 865 Union Street exemplifies the artistic heritage and cultural fabric of this fabled neighborhood. This legal 2 unit residence currently used as a 1 family home was recently renovated with beautiful modern finishes, while retaining its original character with museum quality turn-of-the-century detail. Historically significant, this light and airy 20' wide neo-Grec brownstone was built over 1884-85 by Park Slope builder-architect John Magilligan. Built 4 stories and full-height with its gorgeous bay window accenting the front of the building. Exquisite mahogany wood, oversized Pier mirrors, original in-laid flooring throughout and fantastic banisters complete with original finials surround you from the moment you enter the front doors. With three rare exposures; the restored & original stained glass windows on the west side of the building bathe the middle of the home in dreamy light. The beautifully appointed kitchen, traditionally featured on the garden level, is completed by ebony floors, white custom cabinetry & millwork, creamy quartz countertops completed by a glass backsplash. The windowed master bath with original stained glass was custom designed and is spa-like in every way. Basket-weave marble flooring, an oversized soaking tub, double sinks with marble top and separate stall shower with glass enclosure and nickel fixtures throughout are luxurious and in keeping with the period of the house. Many modern conveniences have been seamlessly added to this home, such as two full sized washer/dryers (one on the lower level and one on the 3rd floor), a wet bar, the master en suite, the chefs kitchen as well as the custom built master walk-in closet. The professionally landscaped garden and deck off the formal dining room is lush and private. This tranquil setting is simply perfect for any size gathering or a simple family meal al fresco. 865 Union Street is a home for all seasons. Historic luxury in the heart of the North Slope.

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).
