Built in 1885 and spanning approximately 4,030 square feet, this stately residence is configured as a 5 unit property, offering both an expansive owner's home and strong rental performance in one of Brooklyn's most desirable neighborhoods. For the end user, the garden duplex delivers a true brownstone lifestyle - thoughtfully scaled with 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, and a private deck that opens to a generous landscaped garden. Rich prewar details - including original woodwork, tall windows, hardwood floors, and soaring ceilings - create a warm, inviting atmosphere that is both timeless and livable. The home is further enhanced by private access to the cellar, adding valuable bonus space for storage, recreation, or customization to suit your needs. For the developer or investor, the property offers substantial upside. Configured with 4 free market rental units above the owner's duplex, the building provides immediate income with long term growth potential. Its rare 21' x 48' footprint allows for a range of strategic possibilities - whether optimizing the current rental mix, upgrading finishes, or reimagining the layout to maximize value. In addition, the property benefits from ample unused air rights, presenting a compelling opportunity for expansion and further value creation. The combination of scale, width, and development potential is increasingly difficult to find, making this a uniquely adaptable asset in a supply constrained Park Slope market. Positioned between 7th and 8th Avenues, just moments from Prospect Park, Grand Army Plaza, and some of Brooklyn's best dining, shopping, and transportation, 879 Union Street offers the perfect balance of tranquility and connectivity. Whether envisioned as a luxurious primary residence with rental income, a multigenerational home, or a high-performing investment property, this is a rare chance to acquire a premier Park Slope brownstone with both immediate appeal and lasting upside.

Sample sizes vary by metric. These are two separate periods measured on different clocks — time to find a buyer, and time from agreed deal to closing. They are medians of different sets of sales and do not add together into a single "days on market" figure. Sales data through September 2026. Sale prices are the consideration recorded with the City in ACRIS, and each sale is dated by the day the City recorded it. A closing date reported to the MLS typically falls one to two weeks earlier. Recorded sales describe what has already happened and are not an appraisal, a valuation, or an estimate of what this home will sell for.

We calculated the tax for those years using the prior year’s rate, so treat them as an estimate rather than a figure the City has adopted. Every rate without the Estimated marker is the published one. Tax Assessment is the assessed value on the City’s roll, and it is the figure other listing sites publish. It is not what the bill is calculated on. New York phases assessment changes in gradually for some tax classes, so the City bills the Billable Value shown beside it, less any exemption the owner holds. It usually trails the assessment, and it can sit above it for a few years after an assessment falls. Figures are the New York City Department of Finance assessment roll for tax lot 3010630064. Assessed and billable values are determined by the City for tax purposes and are not an appraisal or an estimate of market value. Tax classes and rates are set annually and can change.
