by Cate Corcoran

A spacious duplex in a brownstone in Carroll Gardens features a private entrance, period details and a dining room overlooking a large wood-decked patio in a four-story, three-unit Greek Revival-style townhouse at 380 Union Street.

These details include marble mantels, crown moldings, and decorative moldings. The unit is laid out so that all public spaces are on one level with two bedrooms above. There are two full bathrooms, one on each level, and an in-unit laundry room.

The front facing drawing room has high ceilings, large windows, crown molding, parquet flooring and a carved white marble mantel. The dining room has another carved white marble mantel, diagonal wood floors with inlaid borders and tall French doors leading to the terrace.

The diagonal wood flooring continues into the kitchen, which runs off the dining room. It has been updated with white Shaker-style cabinets, a white Formica countertop, and a white subway-style tile backsplash. Modern appliances include a dishwasher, microwave, and washer/dryer.

It also has another set of tall glass doors that lead out onto the terrace. The large outdoor area offers plenty of space for relaxing and dining. In the picture it is furnished with plants in containers and a wooden fence.

The top of the staircase is decorated with plasterwork and the curved mahogany banister and stair spindles are painted white. Both bedrooms have hardwood floors; the larger also has wooden shutters and a ceiling fan.

One bathroom has a mosaic tile backsplash and hexagonal floor tiles; the other, attached to the smaller bedroom, has a double vanity. Between the main rooms on both levels are large storage areas, including five closets.

According to city records, the property has been in the same ownership since the 1990s. The apartment is being offered by Compass agent Maryanne Farrell and is asking $6,800 a month. Is it worth it?
