Property Description
Step back in time to the turn of the previous century, into this meticulously renovated and restored full-floor two-bedroom penthouse flat.
Modern fixtures and appliances meet old-world details at 1238 Bushwick Avenue, a landmark-worthy 1915 townhouse. Detailed millwork, both exterior and inside, is the hallmark of this proud standout. Outside, the vibrant color palette showcases the ornate details that are repeated inside the home.
Using tax photos as their true north, your landlord restored this flat-fronted Italianate Victorian painted lady to her previous grandeur.
The stained glass and wainscoted vestibule signal something special awaits you one flight up the newel post banistered staircase. Crown moldings pull your eyes up towards the restored stained glass skylight above the mezzanine hallway to brighten your day. A picture molding punctuates the hallway and metaphorically implies ?you?ve arrived? before you even enter your apartment.
The pleasing proportions and privacy of a full-floor apartment are easy to overlook, but hard to overstate. Having a 20x40 floorplate all to yourself with no neighbors overhead is civilized and rare in a noisey city.
A mirrored hallway connects front to back with a 40-foot sightline that extends through the front and rear windows. Cleverly, the mirrored closets pull daylight into the middle of the house from said windows and the skylight in the adjacent bathroom.
The space-saving pocket door to the bathroom facilitates visual and physical flow through the home. Other spa-like bathroom features include: tub/shower combo, designer floor tiles, a bright down-lit vanity, and Kohler toilet.
Originally the owners? unit, this apartment features condo-quality fixtures and finishes fit for an end user throughout. Modern comforts (central AC, vented kitchen, full-size fridge and dishwasher, video intercom, stackable washer and dryer, pendant and high hat lighting) meet old-world aesthetics (decorative fireplace mantel, hardwood floors, rosettes, glass door knobs and tin ceilings).
The junior bedroom / home office has its own entrance to the mezzanine hall. A sound-attenuating plaster wall separates the bedrooms. Ground floor bike storage.
One block away, the Halsey J zooms you to Manhattan in 19 minutes.
Contact the Sotheby?s listing agent for a private showing. Cats OK, dogs case by case. Vacant, easy to show and available for immediate move-in.
