Property Description for 1279 Jefferson Ave
1279 Jefferson Avenue
A beautifully reimagined two-family townhouse with a gracious owner's duplex, private garden, and income-producing rental in the heart of Bushwick.
Set on a quiet, tree-lined street, 1279 Jefferson Avenue is a thoughtfully gut-renovated townhouse that perfectly balances modern comfort with timeless Brooklyn character. Rebuilt in 2015, this 19-foot-wide residence offers a rare opportunity to enjoy expansive owner's living with the benefit of a beautifully finished rental below.
The owner's duplex unfolds across the parlor and second floors, offering 3 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms designed with both scale and functionality in mind. The parlor level is a striking entertaining space, where exposed brick, front-facing bay windows, and a dramatic rear wall of sliding glass doors create an airy, light-filled atmosphere throughout the day.
The open-concept living and dining area flows seamlessly into a beautifully appointed kitchen featuring shaker-style cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and a generous island with substantial storage and prep space. A built-in bar adds a bespoke touch, offering additional cabinetry and serving space ideal for hosting.
Just beyond, the private rear deck extends the living space outdoors, overlooking a landscaped garden finished with brick pavers, mature plantings, and a shade tree that creates a lush sense of privacy in the warmer months.
Upstairs, soaring ceilings and a skylight enhance the bright and spacious bedroom level. The primary suite easily accommodates a king-sized bed and full furnishings, complete with a refined en suite bath featuring an oversized shower and classic beveled subway tile. Two additional bedrooms, each with closets, share a full hallway bath with tub.
The garden-level 2-bedroom residence is finished with modern interiors and direct access to the yard, offering excellent rental income potential or a seamless guest / work-from-home extension.
A separately accessed finished basement provides substantial storage and convenient utility access for the owner.
Positioned between both the Wilson L, Myrtle Wyckoff M, and Halsey J trains, the home offers exceptional access to the city while maintaining the quiet charm of a residential Brooklyn block. There is also easy access to bus lines B60 to Williamsburg and B26 to Downtown Brooklyn.
1279 Jefferson Avenue is a rare offering: refined townhouse living with income, privacy, and beautifully executed design.

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).
