About This Property
Meet 1179 Jefferson Avenue, an extraordinary two-family townhouse in the heart of Bushwick, where beautifully preserved historic details meet exceptional contemporary design. Meticulously reimagined with an extraordinary level of craftsmanship, rich materials, and thoughtful details, this is a home that feels truly one of a kind.
From the moment you enter, the home's original character makes an impression. A beautifully restored newel post and original banister celebrate the townhouse's history, while wide-plank oak flooring, carefully curated finishes, and a sophisticated mix of textures introduce a distinctly modern sensibility.
The parlor floor is a showpiece, with comfortable living and entertaining spaces that feel both elegant and inviting. A gorgeous original decorative mantel anchors the living area, while a striking custom wet bar with wine refrigerator and richly colored warm red tile backsplash creates an unexpected design moment. A beautifully appointed powder room wrapped in statement wallpaper adds another layer of personality. Built-in surround sound further elevates the experience, making this level as well suited to intimate evenings as it is to lively gatherings.
The kitchen is nothing short of spectacular. Custom light oak cabinetry is paired with exquisite Calacatta Gold Borghini marble, while a remarkable bronze-wrapped range hood serves as a sculptural centerpiece. Top-of-the-line appliances, including a Wolf gas range, complement the exceptional finishes, creating a kitchen that is as functional as it is beautiful. Glass doors open to a deck overlooking the peaceful landscaped garden below.
Upstairs, the primary suite is a serene retreat with three custom-built closets, beautiful oak shelving, and a luxurious ensuite bathroom clad in marble. A double vanity, bidet, and radiant heated floors bring a spa-like quality to the space, with every detail carefully considered. Two additional bedrooms share a beautifully finished hallway bathroom featuring a skylight and wide vanity. A dedicated laundry room with utility sink adds everyday convenience to this level.
The garden level offers a spacious two-bedroom apartment, providing exceptional flexibility for rental income, extended family, or guests. Below, a beautifully finished basement adds another level of versatile space, ideal for recreation, a home gym, media room, or whatever suits your lifestyle.
A truly exceptional offering in Bushwick, 1179 Jefferson Avenue is a home for those who appreciate extraordinary design without compromising on warmth, character, or livability.
Agent's Note
From Curtis Bain. Details about the apartment are drawn from the listing information provided through RLS by Corcoran Group.
A restored newel post and original banister greet you in this 1905 two-family townhouse, and they set the tone for the rest of the house. Wide-plank oak flooring and a custom wet bar with a wine refrigerator bring a more modern hand to the parlor floor, and an original decorative mantel anchors the living area.
The kitchen has custom light oak cabinets, Calacatta Gold Borghini marble and a bronze-wrapped range hood. There's a Wolf gas range, and glass doors open to a deck over the landscaped garden below, which makes the kitchen easy to connect with outdoor space. I like that layout.
The primary suite has three custom-built closets, oak shelving and a marble ensuite with a double vanity, a bidet and radiant heated floors. Two more bedrooms share a hallway bathroom with a skylight, and the laundry room upstairs has a utility sink.
The garden level holds a two-bedroom apartment, useful for rental income or guests, and the finished basement is set up for recreation, a home gym or a media room. For a home in the city, a landscaped garden you can step into from the house is a real asset, and this one has that.
Halsey Street station on the J is about 8 minutes on foot, and Irving Square Park is about 6 minutes away. Your Deal Food Corporation, a supermarket, is about 5 minutes away.
