Welcome to 1478 Union Street – A Crown Heights Classic with Rare Garage and Exceptional Layout Situated in the heart of Crown Heights, this stately two-family brownstone townhouse offers a rare blend of space, flexibility, and original Brooklyn charm. Spanning approximately 2,088 square feet across three levels (two above grade), this 20-foot-wide by 53-foot-deep residence features five true bedrooms and three full bathrooms, providing ample room for multigenerational living, rental income, or creative reconfiguration. Built in 1899 and nestled on a generous 20' × 116' lot, the property includes something almost unheard of in city living — a private garage in the backyard, easily accessed from the rear. At the front of the building, you'll find two separate entrances, allowing for flexible access to the lower-level unit directly from the street without walking through the upper unit — ideal for owner-users seeking privacy or for maximizing rental potential. Inside, the layout delivers both scale and functionality, with high ceilings, large windows, and solid pre-war construction. Zoned R4, this Class 1 property also offers long-term development or expansion potential, making it an excellent investment in one of Brooklyn’s most storied and evolving neighborhoods. Located just a short distance from the Kingston Avenue 3 train station, you’re only minutes from Prospect Park, the Brooklyn Museum, the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, and a vibrant mix of local cafes, restaurants, and cultural institutions that give Crown Heights its unique, energetic character. With 2024–2025 taxes estimated at just $7,617, this is a standout opportunity to own a sizable and versatile home in a prime location. Whether you’re an end-user or investor,1478 Union Street represents a rare chance to own a true piece of Brooklyn — with all the lifestyle, convenience, and long-term value that comes with it. Now available for private showings. We welcome all inquiries — don’t miss your chance to experience this exceptional home.
