...Nestled on one of the most sought-after blocks in Carroll Gardens, 381 Union Street is an enchanting, 22-foot-wide brownstone reimagined by AD100 designer Billy Cotton and architect Ben Bischoff of MADE. This late-19th-century townhouse unfolds across four levels. From its stately facade to its refined interior palette, the home is a layered narrative of traditional English charm, modern Brooklyn sensibilities, and rich Italian influence.

The main level welcomes you into a whimsical living room wrapped in exquisite Zuber wallpaper, centered around a fireplace and framed by glass doors that leads to the private backyard featuring a sauna and cold plunge. Detailed crown moldings carry through the living room and into the adjacent kitchen and dining area, adding a timeless architectural elegance throughout. The spacious kitchen features Plain English cabinetry, an Ann Sacks tile backsplash, an Officine Gullo range, and a generous island, while a custom-built banquette beneath oversized windows floods the space with natural light.

Upstairs, the full-floor primary suite is a true retreat, enveloped in Zuber wallpaper and Pierre Frey carpeting. It features a cozy sitting area with a fireplace, as well as dual walk-in closets. The third level offers two well-appointed guest rooms, a skylit lounge with built-ins, and a separate home office. On the garden level, you'll find an additional guest suite, a powder room, and a casual living room with built-ins, a fireplace, and direct access to the yard - perfect for relaxed entertaining. The fully finished basement includes a gym, multiple storage and closet areas, and laundry room.

Ideally located near Carroll Park, the Carroll Street F/G trains, and the boutiques and restaurants of Court and Smith Streets, 381 Union is a one-of-a-kind offering in the heart of Brooklyn.
