This corner unit in the heart of Union Square comes with off-street parking.

It's one of those buildings you walk by in Union Square and say to yourself, "Are there condos in that building? I wonder what they look like?"

Well, the answer is 1) Yes and 2) you can find out this weekend.

This week's home of the week, at 50 Bow St., in the heart of Union Square, is a two-bedroom, two-bathroom condo built in the old Bow Street Police Station, an ornate brick building, with Mansard roofs, built in 1874 and designed by George A. Clough.

It's a corner unit with an open living plan, 12-foot high ceilings, 8-foot windows, stainless steel appliances, in-unit laundry, air conditioning and parking.

It has 1,097 square feet, and it's on the market for $535,000.
