405 Irving Ave

405 Irving Ave presents a rare expression of contemporary Brooklyn living—a newly reimagined brick two-family townhouse in the heart of Bushwick, where timeless architecture and thoughtful design meet with uncommon restraint and sophistication. Just two blocks from the new Whole Foods and moments from transit, the home offers both elevated owner living and strong investment potential. The residence unfolds as a beautifully composed two-family layout, pairing an exceptional owner’s duplex with an elegantly appointed garden-level residence below, creating a seamless opportunity for both luxurious living and intelligent income generation. Positioned on a 20 x 100 lot, the building spans approximately 20 x 58 and offers roughly 3,400 square feet of meticulously renovated space. Zoned R6, the property also carries future development potential of approximately 4,400 buildable square feet. Annual taxes are $5,026 ($419/month). Upper Owner’s Duplex Bathed in natural light beneath soaring ceilings and three skylights, the upper duplex has been meticulously curated with rich natural materials and bespoke detailing throughout. Warmth and scale exist in quiet harmony, enhanced by restored architectural elements and sculptural brass accents. At the heart of the home is a grand custom oak kitchen wrapped in striking Verde Alpi Italian marble. Designed for both intimate evenings and large gatherings, it features a 36” gas range, oversized center island, double pantry closets, deep drawer bases, and a microwave drawer. Appliances include Bosch and Z-Line, complemented by Buster & Punch hardware, lighting, and door details, along with brass switches and fixtures throughout. The living spaces flow seamlessly with an oversized living room anchored by a custom oak media wall, opening through large folding glass doors to a private landscaped backyard enclosed by custom iron and cedar fencing. Comfort and performance are elevated with central HVAC featuring hyper heat technology, natural oak hardwood flooring, 8-foot solid wood doors, restored newel post, and refined millwork throughout. The primary suite offers a sanctuary of exceptional proportions, evoking the feel of a boutique hotel. It includes two walk-in closets and a spa-like bathroom with a 72” double vanity, skylight, rain shower with hand spray, and brass Kohler x Studio McGee fixtures. Secondary bedrooms are generously sized with ample storage. Additional highlights include a powder room with Calacatta Viola floating marble vanity, GE Profile washer/dryer on the top floor, restored cornice, and Google Nest doorbell system. Garden-Level Residence The garden-level unit is a fully independent, thoughtfully designed two-bedroom, two-bath residence with private entrance and front and rear egress. It features central heating and air conditioning, porcelain tile flooring, LED lighting, and a dedicated hot water heater. The kitchen is fully equipped with GE appliances, a large island, and durable, high-quality finishes designed for long-term rental appeal. Bedrooms are generously sized with ample closet space, and the unit includes its own GE Profile washer/dryer. Utilities are separately metered for gas and electric, enhancing its investment flexibility and ease of management.
