Property Description for 1247 Union Street

Welcome to 1247 Union Street, a brilliantly reimagined vision of Brooklyn living on a prime Crown Heights block that melds art, style and function into a perfect two family home with timeless form. Another notable property from Crown Investments, 1247 Union Street is a newly renovated, never lived-in and mint condition "unicorn" of a two-family with a rare 30-foot wide floorplate allowing four bedrooms and 3.5 baths executed in top-of-the-line finishes. Semi-detached to give the feeling of a freestanding house, 1247 Union Street is a turnkey 4,000 square foot, classic Crown Heights brick two family Townhouse with immense curb appeal, a luxury of space and a fabulous roof top deck.

With nearby access to Brooklyn's crown jewel, Prospect Park and the Brooklyn Museum, 1247 Union Street favorably compares to nearby mansions that cost far more but on no finer streets: just a block away from the 2,3, and 5 trains, the Eastern Parkway promenade and fine dining, 1247 Union Street is nestled on a tree-lined block of low townhouses allowing for both brilliant light and soothing shade. Many Brooklynites are cramped up in small abodes, making do with a shortage of space, but 1247 Union Street is a 30-wide rarity with the ultimate luxury in NYC: an abundance of space which will allow you to choose each room's best use along with a superb roof deck with bathroom and butler's pantry/bar for outdoor enjoyment. With an upper duplex of four bedrooms (including a grand Primary en-suite with a room size walk-in closet and five-piece marble bathroom), three and a half baths executed in top-notch finishes, laundry room with side-by-side gas washer dryer on top floor, central HVAC, a double parlor and dining room, back yard, roof deck and two bedroom rental unit, 1247 Union Street is both an unparalleled value proposition, but a legacy home for the ages.

The sunny kitchen features custom hand made kitchen cabinets, coffee bar, and rooftop bar with honed granite countertops and a Bertazzoni appliance package. Throughout the hourse you will find Pella windows & sliding door systems, custom iron entry doors with vintage house, herringbone hardwood oak floors, 8' hardwood interior doors and custom cut moldings, oak staircases with square balusters, matte black hardware by Baldwin & Emtek, Italian white Carrera marble tiled bathrooms, plumbing fixtures by Kohler, Delta, & Toto, Nest thermostats & doorbell camera, smart home wiring and security camera wiring, The separately metered two bedroom/one bath rental unit has HVAC, laundry, great closet space and an upscale full kitchen (including dishwasher and island) and is delivered vacant with projected monthly income of around $3,500.

Unicorn homes on fine blocks are rare and even rarer at this price point and level of finish. Please make an appointment today with the exclusive Corcoran broker and make this home your own.

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.
