Property Description for 1019 Bushwick Ave

Own a piece of Brooklyn history! The Huberty House is an individual historic landmark home built in 1900 by Helmle & Huberty, designers of the Prospect Park Boathouse amongst other famed Brooklyn sites. This massive, free-standing house was designed in the Colonial Revival style, and has been in the same family since 1937, who have lovingly preserved the incredible original details and charm. Enter through the majestic portico, into the grand hallway, and you will immediately be transported back in time to another era. The home showcases soaring high ceilings, stunning inlaid hardwood floors, ornate plaster moldings, gorgeous stained glass, and a gracious flow. With a parlor, library, den and formal living room, there is no shortage of space for entertaining and grand living. This home is a legal single family home with an office (formerly a doctor's office), but could easily be reimagined in a myriad number of ways by a visionary end-user or developer. This home has over 8,000sqft of unused air rights which could eventually be sold for a hefty price to a developer for a future building project within close proximity to this house. Bring your architect! This 40 foot wide house is over 5000sqft (not counting the 1,725sqft basement with nearly 10 foot ceilings) on a 50' x 85' lot, with a private garden in the rear of the property. Upon entry to the main floor, you will find a majestic entry hallway and several distinctive living spaces, each featuring their own character and details. The dining room, featuring a spectacular fireplace and bay window, is an incredible space for hosting parties. The kitchen has been modernized for today’s living and is large enough to have a casual eating area. Several doors lead to the backyard for easy access to outdoor living. A side entrance to the living room and a lab room harken back to the house’s past when an earlier owner used the home for his medical practice. Ascending the staircase, past a breathtaking stained glass on the landing, and you will discover an ornately decorated center hallway with high ceilings that create a feeling of grandeur. The second floor features four large bedrooms. Each bedroom has two exposures making them light and bright. Two Jack & Jill bathrooms, each with its own original detail and stained glass, connect the bedrooms. Not to be missed is the unique solarium/sun room lined with windows and a perfect respite to the outside world. The third floor, easily accessed by a staircase in the second-floor hallway, is space ready for renovating. Currently configured into three large rooms and a bathroom, the space could easily be used as additional bedrooms, offices, or other recreational spaces. This house is a one-of-a-kind masterpiece. Bring this museum piece back to its original glory, or recreate the layout to fit your needs. Please note the 3D Tour, photos, and video tour do not depict the top floor or basement. Please inquire for additional images. This stunning home will not last!

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).
