Property Description for 955 Bushwick Ave

This meticulously restored two-family house, built in the 1890s and boasting a classic 19-foot wide Brownstone facade, sits on a tree lined street in a prime Bushwick location. As you step inside, you'll be greeted by an array of architectural elements including built-ins, crown mouldings, decorative mouldings, and high ceilings, creating an atmosphere of timeless elegance. Hardwood floors grace the interior, while a decorative fireplace adds a touch of warmth and character. The home features northeastern and southern exposures, allowing for beautiful natural light throughout the day. The spacious home offers three floors plus a full unfinished basement, perfect for flexible living arrangements. Currently configured as a garden apartment with a duplex above, the layout cleverly allows for easy conversion into a single-family home with a continuous interior staircase. For multi-family use, separate entrances ensure privacy for both units. The modern kitchen boasts granite countertops, custom cabinets, deep sinks, stainless steel appliances including a silent dishwasher, gas range, double door fridge and ample space for culinary creations. The primary bedroom includes a walk-in closet for added convenience and easily fits a king sized bed with nightstands. The primary en-suite bathroom features a custom soapstone and brass vanity, an antique cast iron soaking tub and soapstone floor tiles. There are 3 other bedrooms and an additional bathroom on the 3rd floor which features an extra-long and extra-deep Duravit soaking tub. A complete renovation between 2009 and 2012 ensures modern comfort while preserving the home's original character and charm. From brand new kitchens and bathrooms to updated plumbing and electrics, adding a whole house water filtration system, the house combines modern functionality with beautifully restored details. Inclusive in this renovation, critical steps were taken to retain many original details such as decorative woodwork, slate fireplaces, antique pine floors, shutters, doors, and railings – all meticulously restored. A vented waster and dryer system completes the home. The back yard is landscaped with a bluestone patio and a garden with open skies and full sun.

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).
