About this House

255 Covert Street is an AS-IS SALE and presents a compelling opportunity to invest in a versatile, income-producing townhouse in the heart of Brooklyn. Configured as a multi-level property with approximately 2,500+ square feet across the garden, first, and second floors, the layout lends itself seamlessly to both end-user living with rental income or full investor optimization. The home also features an unfinished cellar level, offering additional square footage with significant potential to be built out for storage, recreational use, or further value-add improvements.

The property is currently arranged with a garden-level unit featuring a spacious living room, kitchen, full bath, and two bedrooms—ideal as a rental or guest suite. Above, the parlor and second floors function as a duplex with a classic layout: a generous living room at the front, a separate dining area, and a full kitchen at the rear on the first level, with direct access to multiple bedrooms. Upstairs, you’ll find an additional three-bedroom configuration with another full bath and flexible room sizes, allowing for strong rental potential or reconfiguration into higher-yield layouts. The clear separation of spaces, multiple kitchens, and ample bedroom count make this an attractive setup for investors seeking steady cash flow or value-add potential.

Positioned on a quiet residential block in Bushwick, the home is surrounded by one of Brooklyn’s most dynamic and rapidly evolving neighborhoods. Just moments away, you’ll find local favorites like Roberta’s, known for its nationally acclaimed pizza, and Ops, a neighborhood staple for wood-fired dining. Coffee lovers will appreciate nearby spots such as Sey Coffee, while nightlife and entertainment options abound with venues like House of Yes and Elsewhere.

For outdoor space, residents can enjoy Irving Square Park and Maria Hernandez Park, both offering green space, recreation, and community events. Transportation is convenient with access to the L train at Halsey Street Station and the J/Z trains at Chauncey Street Station, providing a straightforward commute into Manhattan.

Whether you’re looking to renovate and maximize rental income, create a live-plus-income residence, or hold as a long-term investment in a high-growth neighborhood, 255 Covert Street offers the scale, flexibility, and location to deliver strong upside potential.
