Property Description for 1598 Union Street

Looking for a house large enough for your present needs, but with ample room to grow into as your circumstances change? Then 1598 Union Street may just be what you are looking for: a well-maintained, barrel-fronted townhouse that offers all the pre-war charm you could wish for, along with the modern practicality you expect, all in one irresistible package. This could just be the perfect time for you to fulfill your homeownership dreams. Currently configured as a two-family residence, the first-floor apartment is ideal for those looking for a versatile two-bedroom layout with generous outdoor space. As spring approaches you’ll appreciate the appeal of a south-facing garden that attracts plenty of year-round sunlight. You can landscape to your heart's content. Grow your own herbs and vegetables, or some colorful flowers to brighten up your space. And there’s plenty of room to set up your grill along with some outdoor seating to enjoy a little fresh air and alfresco dining as the weather warms up. Inside the apartment, you’ll find gorgeous bay windows in the front and back of the house that bring plenty of natural light into the living space. Coffered ceilings, original wood floors with inlay details, and a recently updated suite of kitchen and bathroom fixtures and finishes make for a move-in-ready situation. One floor up you’ll find a comparable layout and finishes, with a fabulous south-facing terrace overlooking the rear garden. The renovated kitchen is central to your dining and outdoor entertaining spaces, and the in-apartment washer/dryer makes every laundry day a cinch. You’ll appreciate the flexible options here too, along with the abundant light provided by the central skylight and open views to the front and rear of your home. Both apartments feature adaptable layouts, high ceilings, hardwood floors, renovated bathrooms and kitchens, and a private washer/dryer in each apartment. The generous walk-in closets provide ample storage options, and the cellar can be updated and configured to the new owner's needs. Perfectly situated minutes from the Utica Avenue 2/3/4, your commute into Manhattan just became a breeze. Currently, tenant occupied, the building can be delivered vacant or with tenants in place. 48hrs notice is required for all showings.

Crown Heights | Brooklyn

Quick Profile

Originally known as Crown Hill by the Lenape Indians that lived there, Crown Heights has evolved into a diverse neighborhood, occupied primarily by Hasidic Jews and one of the largest Caribbean populations to be found anywhere outside of the West Indies. 

Head over to Nostrand Avenue, one of the main West Indian commercial areas in the neighborhood, which is lined with stores that have been in those exact same places for generations, providing their goods and services to area residents. Kingston Avenue has similar commercial activities that support the Jewish community, and Franklin Avenue shows the most signs of change and gentrification, with an ever-expanding mix of yoga studios, coffee shops, and organic grocery stores that serve the influx of young professionals. No matter which of these areas you visit, you will find an interesting mix of businesses that you wouldn’t normally picture as existing side-by-side. It is all part of the cultural diversity of Crown Heights.

The neighborhood is bisected, from east to west, by Eastern Parkway, which is a beautiful, 3-mile-long boulevard lined with mature trees. This leafy oasis was designed by Frederick Law Olmsted, famed designer of Central Park, the Biltmore Estate in North Carolina, and the U. S. Capitol in Washington, D. C.

You will find a mix of low-rise apartment buildings, large middle-class elevator buildings, brownstones, and some luxury buildings. Century-old architecture stands next to modern residential developments in a visually interesting mix of styles, much as the diversity of the residents exists. People who would not normally meet and mix are forging new pathways to cultural understanding by working, living, and playing together in the same neighborhood.
