Property Description for 1074 Union Street

1074 Union Street A Restored 1922 Arts & Crafts Single-Family Rowhouse Prime Crown Heights South Designed by the notable Brooklyn architectural firm Slee & Bryson and built in 1922 by Charles A. Chase, 1074 Union Street is a beautifully restored Arts & Crafts single-family residence rich in original detail and thoughtful long-term stewardship. Situated on a prized townhouse block in Crown Heights South, this is a rare opportunity to own a true architectural home in one of Brooklyn’s most distinctive early 20th-century neighborhoods — moments from the Franklin Avenue / Medgar Evers College station and close to Prospect Park, the Brooklyn Museum, and the Brooklyn Botanic Garden. Size & Layout The home offers approximately 2,530 square feet of interior space, including 1,760 square feet above grade and an additional 770 square foot finished garden level, creating a substantial and flexible single-family residence. The layout includes three bedrooms, two bathrooms, gracious entertaining rooms, and a seamless connection to outdoor living through multiple decks and garden spaces. Architectural Character Golden oak-stained doors open to a paneled vestibule and gracious living room flowing into the dining room, showcasing hallmark Arts & Crafts detailing: • Original tiled fireplace • Hand-wrought Spanish Revival copper hood • Maple-bordered parquet floors • Coffered beam ceilings • Leaded glass built-ins and book nook • Integrated window seat with storage The main level also features a well-appointed chef’s kitchen with granite countertops, original butler’s pantry, 5-burner KitchenAid range, and GE Profile refrigerator. A charming breakfast nook opens to a wrought-iron deck with natural gas grill connection and a lush planted garden — ideal for entertaining. Upper Level The top floor is warm and light-filled, featuring restored stained-glass windows beneath skylights, honey-toned parquet floors, three well-proportioned bedrooms, and a sun deck with southern exposure. The primary bedroom enjoys two closets and a window seat overlooking the tree-lined block. The upstairs bath retains its original tub and distinctive reverse domino-pattern tile work. Finished Garden Level The fully finished garden-level adds substantial additional living space and enhances the home’s flexibility and functionality. Bright and airy, this level includes a generous recreation or home office area, a three-quarter bath, dedicated laundry room, and direct access to both the garden and the street. Whether used for guest space, creative studio, media room, or extended living, this level meaningfully expands the home’s livability beyond the primary floors above. Location & Lifestyle Crown Heights South offers exceptional transportation and cultural access: • 2/3/4/5 trains half a block away • Approximately 15 minutes to Manhattan • Bike paths along Eastern Parkway • Brooklyn Museum, Botanic Garden & Prospect Park nearby • Grand Army Plaza Farmers Market • Union Market and neighborhood restaurants within a few blocks Important Showing Information A full interactive 3D Matterport walkthrough is available upon request. The home is currently tenant-occupied. All showings are strictly by appointment only. No drop-ins permitted

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.
