Property Description for 1294 Putnam Ave

Developed by a notable and respected apartment builder in Brooklyn, this meticulously renovated two-family townhouse in super cool and trendy Bushwick, features exquisitely designed modern interiors and the utmost attention to detail and craftsmanship.
Sitting on a 20' x 100' lot, this gorgeous three-story two-family home plus a full-height basement/rec. room is approximately 2,800 square feet (plus close to 1,000 square feet in basement) and features 5 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms, 2 powder rooms, and an expansive backyard garden.
The expansive bright and airy designer owner’s duplex offers 3 bedroom, 2 full bathrooms and a powder room, and the charming income-producing rental unit offers 2 bedroom, a full bathroom, a powder room and a basement rec. room. Enhanced by modern elements from central heating and cooling, 6" wide-plank oak hardwood floors, impeccably designed kitchen with high-end cabinets, imported stone and tile, a large terrace and covered patio and a lush private backyard – you simply cannot ask for more from a townhouse!
The sprawling upper owner’s duplex offers generous living space and high-end custom finishes. The chef's kitchen features rare veined quartz countertops and backsplash, high-end stainless-steel appliances, integrated range hood, tucked-away microwave, and more cabinets than you’ll know what to do with. An entire wall of sliding doors open onto a large terrace overlooking the garden, creating the perfect flow for entertaining and indoor/outdoor living.
On the top floor, the 19’ wide master suite beams with sunlight spilling in through the oversized windows. The room is complemented with a spacious walk-through closet and ensuite bathroom with double-sinks and a walk-in rain shower. Opposite the master and down the corridor are the second and third bedrooms, a full designer bathroom and a washer/dryer.
Down on the garden level, the 2-bedroom rental apartment features an open living space, gorgeous open-concept kitchen with stainless steel appliances, an bonus office/den, a full-bathroom, ensuite washer/dryer and a full-height basement/rec. room with a window and a half-bathroom.
The home is strikingly well-balanced, optimized to suit the needs of daily living and elegant entertaining. Live in the duplex and rent the garden unit for income, occupy the entire home, or rent out both apartments for a very attractive return and appreciation potential.
Additional upgrades include a sprinkler system, new boilers, and new water tanks, new electric, new plumbing, new roof, and a finished basement – this house has basically been re-built from the ground-up to meet the needs of the modern homebuyer.
Quick and easy access to Manhattan via the J, M, Z and L, all only a few minutes’ walk away!

Bushwick | Brooklyn

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).
