Warm and updated Bushwick 2-family townhouse with multiple private outdoor spaces - the ideal owner-occupant investment
1324 Jefferson Ave is a renovated multi-family home with sleek curb appeal in the heart of Bushwick off of Irving Square Park. Tastefully transformed while keeping its warmth and character intact, this 3,420 square-foot home stands out amongst its counterparts. Configured as a 3 bedroom, 2.5 bath owner's duplex and an income-generating 3 bedroom, 1.5 bath garden apartment, this home is ideal for investment or multigenerational living. All systems and finishes were updated in a top-to-bottom renovation, and the current owner has performed intentional maintenance, offering peace of mind for the next owner.
The bright and airy 45-foot-deep parlor level, with an open living space and large windows on both ends evokes a loft-like feel within a townhouse. Additional details include the gas fireplace, high beamed ceilings, wide-plank white oak floors, multiple private outdoor areas, and the floating oak and steel stairway set against a whitewashed brick wall.
The stylish kitchen flaunts a Bertazzoni range and Bosch appliances, abundant storage, and an oversized quartz island with a second built-in sink. Floor-to-ceiling sliding doors overlook the deck and lush backyard, offering emblematic spring and summer al fresco living. The garden is distinctive for the area - designed with slate pavers, raised garden beds, custom irrigation and lighting, and divided areas for both units to enjoy.
Upstairs, three bedrooms surround the spacious landing with 11-foot ceilings and stunning skylights. The sunny full-width primary suite offers a private south-facing terrace, and radiant heated floors in the en-suite bathroom. Two additional sizable bedrooms with 12-foot ceilings, a chic bathroom featuring a walk in shower and soaking tub, and a dedicated laundry room complete the level.
The garden level 3-bedroom, 1.5-bath rental apartment is positioned for top rental income, with an in-unit washer/dryer, central A/C, a private patio, and an excellently finished cellar level that is perfect for a fitness or media area, or even a studio space for artists and creatives.
Located on a tree-lined street near the Halsey & Wilson L train stops and Halsey & Gates J/M/Z train stops, with quick access to central Bushwick's vibrant scene. Mere steps to Irving Square Park (with weekly farmer's markets and events) and the Bushwick Collective street art, you're surrounded by culture, community, and cutting edge cuisine. L'Imprimerie Bakery, Father Knows Best, and Money Cat are a few staples. The surroundings are developing quickly and the area carries a strong sense of community and creativity.

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).
