Why you’ll love it…
This two-level condo’s top floor leads outside to a 600-square-foot backyard, which includes a large deck and a custom-made pergola. The expansive square footage allows for any furniture setup you can imagine, whether you plan on grilling and entertaining, relaxing after work, or setting up a home garden. The interior of the unit offers similar flexibility thanks to its layout, with several possible uses for each space.
For example, a bedroom is located on each floor of the condo, but one could be used as a den or office if you prefer. Upstairs, in addition to the bedroom you’ll find the primary bathroom, the kitchen, and a living area. Decked out in contemporary white cabinetry and backsplash, the kitchen has an electric range, stainless steel oven, fridge, and mounted microwave. There’s also a dishwasher for easy cleanup after meals. The primary bathroom has a similar all-white color scheme, with large slab tiling on both the walls and floor.
Down a flight of stairs is the lower floor, which includes a bedroom with several closets, a washer/dryer, a half-bath, and a second entrance to the backyard. An area separate from the bedroom leads to the outdoor staircase, and makes the perfect spot for a small home gym (as seen in the listing photos) or home office. This abode can truly be customized to your needs, whether that’s maximum bedrooms, work-from-home space, or relaxing common areas.
Located in a renovated condo building, this unit has central A/C and a great location in central Bushwick. It’s situated between J/Z and M stops, so you have options for commuting or traveling into Manhattan. There’s also a plethora of bars nearby like Sunrise/Sunset, Wonderville, Hart Bar, and Ornithology Jazz Club, as well as restaurants like Santa Panza, Buntopia, and Rosie Pizza Bar. To top it off, the monthlies are fairly low.
…and why you might not
Not everyone will be a fan of living on the bottom floors of the building, but it does allow for that excellent backyard! The upstairs level doesn’t have a lot of room for living room furniture, so it might be tight if neither bedroom is used as a den. The upstairs bedroom also doesn’t have any closets. But if you’re looking for outdoor space and a flexible interior, this one is for you!
