746 Union Street

This truly special, one-of-a-kind, four-story brownstone has all the quintessential prewar details: a traditional stoop canopied by a flowering Magnolia, oversized symmetrical windows and a very welcoming entry. "There is uniformity, a pleasing rhythm and solidity to brownstones," as Brownstoner remarked, "especially when paired with old trees, overflowing flower boxes, and heavy cast iron railings." This home has all of that and more! As soon as you enter the foyer with its mahogany doors, original banister, crown moldings and beautifully restored landings, you feel complete enchantment. Continue through the wide original pocket doors into a spacious and bright open living/ dining area with high ceilings, Victorian chandeliers, crown moldings, beautifully accented beams, and lovely hardwood floors.

Relax in the commodious and beautiful upper two floors which can be reconfigured into gracious bedroom suites accommodating up to 4 bedrooms and 4 baths with walk in closets, playrooms and office spaces.
