Property Description for 242 Eldert Street

242 Eldert St was originally constructed in 1910. This newly renovated home is the perfect combination of high-end finishes, modern technology, and impeccable details, an honorable salute to its past. This 20-foot wide, two-family townhouse features 5 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms, 2 powder rooms, a large parlor deck, and an expansive backyard garden. From wide plank oak floors to a full-glass back to a built-in sound system, attention to detail can be found throughout this well-appointed home. As you enter the owner’s three-bedroom duplex, you are greeted by a welcoming foyer and a gorgeous original mirror. Stepping into a 45-foot parlor, you realize the breadth of space as the 10.5-foot ceilings let the light radiate throughout the open floor plan. To the right, the formal living room area is great for entertaining. To the left, is a large dining area and thoughtfully designed powder room. In the back, your kitchen features a four-seat island, custom cabinetry, and quartz countertops with oversized French doors leading to a large deck. With a farmhouse sink and a full complement of appliances including an integrated Bosch refrigerator, Bosch six-burner stove, integrated Bosch dishwasher, pot filler, and microwave drawer, this kitchen is a chef’s dream. Upstairs you find three bedrooms and two full baths radiating in natural sunlight with three meticulously placed skylights. The elegant, South facing primary bedroom features three windows overlooking the serene backyard gardens and two large closets. The primary bath has marble tiled floors, a tasteful double vanity, a glass-enclosed shower, and a freestanding deep soaking bathtub. As you head down the hall, you pass the marble-tiled second bathroom adjacent to two comfortable bedrooms. The private basement can be accessed through an interior staircase and is finished with textured tile floors, a powder room and split AC units. It can easily be transformed into a playroom, home office, or artist studio. The separate garden floor two-bedroom unit is equipped with a washer/dryer and can serve as an income-producing property or in-law apartment. This masterfully re-imagined townhouse is located in the heart of Bushwick. You are moments away from great dining establishments such as Money Cat, Iriving General, Father Knows Best, and several local parks including Irving Square Park. Nearby public transportation includes the L or J/M trains and JFK is a short 20-minute drive 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).
