Property Description for 1194 Decatur Street
At an impressive 20' feet wide and 55' deep, this gorgeous 2-family home is worthy of a lengthy pause as you approach the stoop. Notice the careful restoration of the brick facade and it's meticulously restored cornice and eyebrow stonework above the windows. Great respect for the original details in addition to a complete 21st century renovation make this home the one everyone has been searching for.Head up the stoop and enter into the lower floor of the owner's duplex. This level is made for living and entertaining with a wide open plan with abundant space for living and dining that flow seamlessly into your state of the art kitchen. This chef's dream of a space features crisp white cabinets and countertops accented with walnut and floating walnut shelving and Fisher Paykel appliances. This level also features a powder room and a mini-extension with a laundry room leading to your perfect backyard with raised planter bed. Bringing the party - or the romantic dinner for two - in or out will be a delight on this floor.Head up the stairs to find - not 3 - but four (yes, 4!) bedrooms. Each of the 3 smaller bedrooms feature ample closet space and share a beautifully appointed full bathroom. The master suite basks in light and faces your tranquil backyard oasis. It also features an enormous walk-in closet and a master bathroom with dual sinks and spa-worthy fixtures and tiles.In many 2-family renovations, the garden rental can be an after thought. Not so at 1194 Decatur. This 2- bedroom apartment looks no less luxurious than the owner's duplex with considerate design touches like an inset beamed ceiling over the kitchen and a wall of exposed brick. The 2 bedrooms also face the yard and this unit has 2 sizable full bathrooms, a washer/dryer and access to the garden oasis.Both units also feature central AC and heat.With proximity to multiple subway lines and a Bushwick location that is second to none, 1194 Decatur Street will not only make someone a very lucky home owner but also a very smart investor.

Quick Profile
As one of the most diverse neighborhoods in New York, Bushwick offers a perfect snapshot of just how multicultural the city is. Long-established as an amalgam of cultures and ethnicities, a wave of varying types of immigrants trickled in from the seventeenth to twentieth centuries, with Bushwick largely becoming a home to Hispanics of Puerto Rican and Dominican backgrounds by the latter part of the twentieth century.
With the Bushwick Initiative of the mid-00s that aided in revitalization, it became an attractive area to young professionals and artists. And even now, Bushwick has sustained affordable rent prices where other North Brooklyn counterparts, like Williamsburg and Greenpoint, have become more expensive. Priding itself on the weird and the wacky, numerous art collectives thrive in this part of Brooklyn, once famously named the seventh coolest neighborhood in the world by Vogue.
Though it has drawn in many tourists in recent years (there’s even a graffiti tour you can take from the Bushwick Collective), the neighborhood remains very much community-oriented, and has not been subject to quite the same sort of corporate infiltration phenomenon of its nearby Williamsburg environs.
But yes, of course, Bushwick has come a very long way from its 80s and 90s reputation as being “The Well,” a nickname given to it for its free-flowing and widely available amount of drugs (quantity over quality being the cliche applied here).
