Description

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.
