About This Property
Introducing 1222 Decatur Street — a rare and distinguished townhouse offering in the heart of Bushwick, where architectural scale, design flexibility, and investment potential converge. SELLER'S CONCESSION WELCOMED! Encompassing approximately 2,963 square feet across four full levels plus a finished basement, this residence presents a unique opportunity to craft a truly bespoke living experience—whether envisioned as a grand single-family home, a high-yield investment, or a sophisticated live-plus-income property. The owner’s duplex is a study in understated elegance and livability. A sun-drenched living room anchors the main level, seamlessly connecting to an expansive eat-in kitchen designed for both everyday comfort and elevated entertaining. Beyond, a private patio unfolds as a secluded outdoor sanctuary—perfect for curated gatherings, dining under the open sky, or quiet moments of retreat. Above, the home reveals a series of well-proportioned bedrooms and flexible living spaces, each offering a sense of scale and privacy rarely found at this price point. The upper levels are intelligently configured with additional bedrooms, full baths, and a separate kitchen and family room—delivering immediate income potential or the opportunity to seamlessly unify the home into a statement single-family residence. The finished basement further elevates the lifestyle offering, complete with additional rooms and a wet bar—ideal for a private lounge, screening room, or creative studio. Set on a picturesque block, the location places you moments from Maria Hernandez Park, while surrounded by some of Brooklyn’s most iconic destinations, including Roberta’s and House of Yes. The neighborhood’s curated mix of artisanal cafes, design-forward retail, and vibrant nightlife continues to define Bushwick as one of New York City’s most compelling cultural enclaves. Connectivity is seamless with access to the MTA New York City Subway via the nearby Halsey Street Station and Wilson Avenue Station, offering a direct and efficient commute into Manhattan. This is not simply a townhouse—it is a scalable asset, a design opportunity, and a long-term hold in a neighborhood defined by growth, culture, and demand. 1222 Decatur Street represents a rare intersection of lifestyle and investment—crafted for the discerning buyer who understands both.
Agent's Note
From Curtis Bain. Details about the apartment are drawn from the listing information provided through RLS by Nest Seekers LLC.
The private patio at 1222 Decatur Street is listed at under 60 square feet, and it sits beyond the eat-in kitchen in the owner's duplex, so it's easy to step outside from the cooking and eating space. The listing describes it as secluded, which suits quiet dinners as well as larger gatherings.
The house has 2,963 square feet, six bedrooms and three bathrooms. A living room anchors the main level, and the upper levels have additional bedrooms, full baths, a separate kitchen and a family room. Because of that separate kitchen, the house can be lived in as one home or divided into two units, and the listing describes it as suited to either.
The finished basement adds rooms and a wet bar. The listing suggests it for a lounge, a screening room or a studio, and I'd look at that space early, since it's the part of the house most likely to change how you use the rest of it.
Built in 1899, the house has the proportions and room definition that appeal to those who value pre-war construction. The condition of each room matters more than the year, so it's worth seeing how the upper levels and basement have been finished.
Wilson Avenue station on the L is about 4 minutes on foot, and Halsey Street on the L is about 12 minutes. Irving Square Park is about 6 minutes away, and Stop One Supermarket is about 1 minute. Laundry is available in the building, and pets are allowed.
