Description
Welcome to 118 Schaefer Street, a meticulously gut-renovated townhouse in the heart of Bushwick, Brooklyn, thoughtfully designed as a spacious owner’s duplex above a two-bedroom garden rental. This modern home blends high-end finishes with smart, functional design—perfectly suited for today’s lifestyle. The parlor floor of the owner’s duplex is bright and inviting, anchored by warm white oak flooring and a generous open layout. A stylish powder room is tucked just off the living area, while a built-in dining bench creates a cozy, intentional flow into the chef’s kitchen. Outfitted with Taj Mahal quartzite countertops, a cooktop with a separate wall oven, and a full wall of custom pantries, this kitchen is as beautiful as it is practical. Bifold doors open the entire back wall to a private deck, offering seamless indoor-outdoor living. Upstairs, the primary suite features a spa-inspired en-suite bathroom with a double vanity and dual rain showerheads. Two additional bedrooms share a full bathroom, and a linen closet and washer/dryer add everyday convenience. For even more space, the fully finished basement offers a large recreation room and powder room—ideal for a home gym, media space, or playroom. The two-bedroom garden apartment below is thoughtfully laid out with its own washer/dryer and access to a private backyard oasis, making it ideal for rental income, guests, or multigenerational living. Additional highlights include a private rooftop with skyline views, white oak floors throughout, and all-new mechanical systems. Located on a tree-lined block near Bushwick’s best cafes, galleries, and the L and M trains, 118 Schaefer Street is the perfect blend of luxury, versatility, and location.
