About this House

Boutique Designer Townhouse with Private Garden and Income-Producing Three Bedroom Rental.

172 Schaefer Street is a beautifully restored and design-forward two-family townhouse set on a quiet residential block in Bushwick. Every room has been curated with a refined visual language that blends original prewar architecture with contemporary finishes. Exposed brick, custom millwork, detailed crown moldings, and layered textures create a warm and elevated environment throughout.

The owner's duplex spans the parlor level and the full lower level and features two bedrooms and two bathrooms, including a primary bedroom with an en suite bath. This level also includes a dedicated laundry room. The parlor floor offers a highly styled living room with tall ceilings, a striking exposed brick wall, custom trim work, and abundant natural light.

The lower level serves as the heart of the home with a kitchen, dining room, and den that open directly to the private garden. This floor provides generous space for entertaining, daily living, and a seamless indoor-outdoor connection that is rare at this price point.

The upper apartment is a fully independent three bedroom and two bathroom home with a washer dryer and a skylight that fills the space with natural light. This vacant unit is well-suited for strong rental income, multi-use living or a full creative suite. It offers flexibility and immediate usability with potential to personalize.

Set within one of Bushwick's most vibrant pockets, the townhouse is moments from cafés, local restaurants, creative studios, and neighborhood parks. The L, J, and Z trains offer an easy commute to Manhattan and greater Brooklyn.
172 Schaefer Street offers a character-rich home with designer interiors, a private garden, and flexible income opportunities in one of Brooklyn's most energetic neighborhoods.
