713 Union Street

Spectacular high-end, modern townhouse features an owner's thoughtfully renovated upper duplex and a charming garden level rental. This one-of-a-kind two family, three-story gem is not too big and not too small and can easily be enjoyed as a one family home. The sumptuous deck and landscaped backyard provide your own private oasis.

Located mid-block, the pretty front yard presents a brownstone stoop ascending to the parlor level. Original woodwork, decorative marble mantel, 11.5 ft ceilings and an open floor plan in the living and dining areas lead to an exquisite, spacious, and well-appointed custom kitchen. The kitchen is fully outfitted with stainless appliances including a built-in Liebherr refrigerator, British gooseneck faucet, commercial-grade oven, and dishwasher. Delight in the stylish and functional European fireclay apron-style sink, Carrera marble countertops and a wonderful island/breakfast bar for family gatherings. Generous counter space and plentiful cabinet and pantry storage are available for the organized and well-stocked chef.

Windows run the length of the rear kitchen and look toward the garden, making meal preparation an everyday pleasure. The ipe wood deck off the kitchen brings nature a step away and spiral wrought iron steps lead to the garden below. A zen-like half bath with window is conveniently located off the kitchen.

On the top floor is the large master bedroom (16 x 15 ft) with wall-mounted bedside sconces and a not to be missed walk-in closet outfitted with custom shelving. The four star bath is king-sized, ensuite, and has radiant heat and a large skylight that brightens the entire room.

Overlooking the rear garden, the second bedroom has ample closet space and a skylight. The full bath next door is exquisitely modeled. Both bathrooms are contemporary in design with warm-toned large custom tiles and limestone, European style wall mount toilets and deep soaking tubs. Washer/dryer and laundry/linen closet complete this floor. A third skylight illuminates the staircase.

The garden level is a floor through one-bedroom apartment with a bedroom, living room/home office, eat-in kitchen, and a traditional, large bathroom with claw-foot tub. Adorable and utilitarian mudroom off the kitchen has storage and could double as an office. Additional FAR is available.

Grand Army Plaza's Saturday Farmer's Market, the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, Brooklyn Museum, Prospect Park, Barclays Center and the 2, 3, B, D, N, R, and Q are all an easy walk. Fifth Avenue shops, restaurants Palo Santo, Rosewater, and Al Di La among many others, the Park Slope Food Co-op, Union Market for specialty groceries, and a large selection of cafes and boutiques are all nearby.
