Property Description for 1257 De Kalb Ave, 1

Qualified buyers can tap First Republic's Eagle Community Loan for 3.28% 30 year fix mortgage with $7K in closing cost assistance. Bushwick's biggest 2 bed, 2.5 bath condo under $1.3 awaits you. Do you prefer a huge duplex or a huge yard? Both can be yours at 1257 Dekalb #1. At just $768 PSF, it is not just among the biggest, but the best valued condo in Bushwick as well. Reasonable CCs and monthly taxes = $539 and $1,057 respectively. Your CPA approves. Not into overpaying for underused amenities? No doorman or pool here, just the best of the basics: space and lots of it — indoor, outdoor, upstairs, downstairs — 1,691 interior sf and 1,100+ exterior sf! The architect did their best to utilize as much of the 25' wide floor-plate as possible — unit 1 has townhouse proportions and expansive width throughout much of the home. Upon entering your home, you have a 41' sightline to the rear that extends visually through the windows and into the landscaped backyard another 36'. Every square inch feels so much bigger when you have front to back lines of sight longer than a bowling alley lane. All square footage is not created equal. Everything about the unit is supersized — the grand primary bedroom, the walk in closet, the high ceilings throughout — let this home upsize your spirits as well. This is the Cadillac of condos, oversized and appointed with deluxe finishes: five-inch white oak plank flooring; stainless GE in the kitchen; LG in the laundry room. Duravit deep soaking tubs ensure a superior bubble bath. Cook five course meals on your five burner GE gas range — a marbled Quartz peninsula separates the chef from appreciative guests. Custom cabinetry organizes your kitchen ephemera. This home was built for entertaining — dress it up with dinner parties and get down with barbecues. The lower level rec room can be multi-zone, multi purpose. Need a home office, gym, screening room, or zen-yoga-chill out space? It's got room for all four simultaneously. Or start a band and use it as a practice space. A kids' play room for grown up kids, too. Stop doing work Zooms in your bedroom and sequester the office vibe to the lower level so that when you walk upstairs, the work day is really done and you can enjoy your home life — while zero commute is nice, a defined physical separation between business and pleasure is what we all truly need for work/life balance. The lower level has two forms of egress. Sliders open directly to a patio with a staircase that ascends to your backyard oasis. And an interior exit door to the storage unit corridor for easy to access to your deeded storage. Bushwick's burgeoning food, arts and culture scene has long since come into its own, as evidenced by its world class nightlife district. In a one block radius are two Citibike stations, the M train and a community garden. J and L nearby as well. Contact the listing agent for an appointment. REBNY colleagues earn 3% co-broke.

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).
