Property Description for 172 Schaefer Street

Boutique Designer Townhouse with Private Garden and Income-Producing Three Bedroom Rental

172 Schaefer Street is a beautifully restored and design-forward two-family townhouse set on a quiet residential block in Bushwick. Every room has been curated with a refined visual language that blends original prewar architecture with contemporary finishes. Exposed brick, custom millwork, detailed crown moldings, and layered textures create a warm and elevated environment throughout.

The owner's duplex spans the parlor level and the full lower level and features two bedrooms and two bathrooms, including a primary bedroom with an en suite bath. This level also includes a dedicated laundry room. The parlor floor offers a highly styled living room with tall ceilings, a striking exposed brick wall, custom trim work, and abundant natural light.

The lower level serves as the heart of the home with a kitchen, dining room, and den that open directly to the private garden. This floor provides generous space for entertaining, daily living, and a seamless indoor-outdoor connection that is rare at this price point.

The upper apartment is a fully independent three bedroom and two bathroom home with a washer dryer and a skylight that fills the space with natural light. This vacant unit is well-suited for strong rental income, multi-use living or a full creative suite. It offers flexibility and immediate usability with potential to personalize.

Set within one of Bushwick's most vibrant pockets, the townhouse is moments from cafés, local restaurants, creative studios, and neighborhood parks. The L, J, and Z trains offer an easy commute to Manhattan and greater Brooklyn.

172 Schaefer Street offers a character-rich home with designer interiors, a private garden, and flexible income opportunities in one of Brooklyn's most energetic neighborhoods.

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).
