Set on a quiet, tree-lined street, 1279 Jefferson Avenue is a thoughtfully gut-renovated townhouse that perfectly balances modern comfort with timeless Brooklyn character. Rebuilt in 2015, this 19-foot-wide residence offers a rare opportunity to enjoy expansive owner's living with the benefit of a beautifully finished rental below. The owner's duplex unfolds across the parlor and second floors, offering 3 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms designed with both scale and functionality in mind. The parlor level is a striking entertaining space, where exposed brick, front-facing bay windows, and a dramatic rear wall of sliding glass doors create an airy, light-filled atmosphere throughout the day. The open-concept living and dining area flows seamlessly into a beautifully appointed kitchen featuring shaker-style cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and a generous island with substantial storage and prep space. A built-in bar adds a bespoke touch, offering additional cabinetry and serving space ideal for hosting. Just beyond, the private rear deck extends the living space outdoors, overlooking a landscaped garden finished with brick pavers, mature plantings, and a shade tree that creates a lush sense of privacy in the warmer months. Upstairs, soaring ceilings and a skylight enhance the bright and spacious bedroom level. The primary suite easily accommodates a king-sized bed and full furnishings, complete with a refined en suite bath featuring an oversized shower and classic beveled subway tile. Two additional bedrooms, each with closets, share a full hallway bath with tub. The garden-level 2-bedroom residence is finished with modern interiors and direct access to the yard, offering excellent rental income potential or a seamless guest / work-from-home extension. A separately accessed finished basement provides substantial storage and convenient utility access for the owner. Positioned between both the Wilson L, Myrtle Wyckoff M, and Halsey J trains, the home offers exceptional access to the city while maintaining the quiet charm of a residential Brooklyn block. There is also easy access to bus lines B60 to Williamsburg and B26 to Downtown Brooklyn. 1279 Jefferson Avenue is a rare offering: refined townhouse living with income, privacy, and beautifully executed design. ## Property Details - **Property Type**: Multi Family - **Beds**: 5 - **Total Baths**: 4 - **Rooms**: 12 - **Sqft**: 3,620 sqft - **Stories**: 3 - **Year Built**: 1905 - **Price per Sqft**: $506 - **Monthly Taxes**: $577 / mo - **Listed On**: Apr 8, 2026 - **Days on Market**: 158 Days ### Residence Features - Central Air - Washer Hookup - In Unit - Private Outdoor Space Over 60 Sqft - High Ceilings - Smoke Free - Storage - Washer Dryer Allowed ## Sales Evidence ### Recent closed sales 1279 JEFFERSON Avenue has one recorded sale since September 2021, the most recent for $1,830,000 in June 2026. Prices are the figures recorded with the City, not asking prices. | Unit | Beds | Sq Ft | Sold Price | $/ft² | Sold | Source | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Entire property (Multi Family) | 5 | 3,620 | $1,830,000 | $506/ft² | June 25, 2026 | MLS | ### How this price compares The median closed price for comparable house sales in Bushwick is $1,680,000, based on 36 sales between October 2021 and September 2026. This home is asking $1,830,000, $150,000 above that median. The middle half of those sales closed between $1,425,000 and $1,900,000. - **Median closed price**: $1,680,000 - **Middle half**: $1,425,000 – $1,900,000 - **Based on**: 36 house sales in Bushwick - **Period**: October 2021 – September 2026 - **Median $/ft²**: $511/ft² Across the 26 of these sales with a published asking price, the median closed at 98.1% of what it originally asked. 65% of them closed below the original ask. A house is not part of a building of comparable apartments, so this benchmark is drawn from house sales across Bushwick. Apartment sales are excluded from it entirely. ### How these sales were negotiated - **Sold vs original ask**: 98.1% of the original ask - **Closed below ask**: 65% of 26 sales - **Listed → in contract**: 90 days (about 13 weeks) - **In contract → closed**: 70 days (about 10 weeks) Across the 26 of these sales with a published asking price, the median closed at 98.1% of what it originally asked. 65% of them closed below the original ask. Half of these homes were in contract within 90 days (about 13 weeks) of coming to market, based on the 30 with a recorded listing date. Once a deal was agreed, closing took a further 70 days (about 10 weeks), based on the 30 with both dates recorded. These are two separate periods measured on different clocks — time to find a buyer, and time from agreed deal to closing. They are medians of different sets of sales and do not add together into a single "days on market" figure. Based on 36 house sales in Bushwick, October 2021 – September 2026. Each figure counts only the sales that recorded the dates it needs, which is why the denominators differ. Sale prices are the consideration recorded with the City in ACRIS, and each sale is dated by the day the City recorded it. A closing date reported to the MLS typically falls one to two weeks earlier. Recorded sales describe what has already happened and are not an appraisal, a valuation, or an estimate of what this home will sell for.

We calculated the tax for those years using the prior year’s rate, so treat them as an estimate rather than a figure the City has adopted. Every rate without the Estimated marker is the published one. Tax Assessment is the assessed value on the City’s roll, and it is the figure other listing sites publish. It is not what the bill is calculated on. New York phases assessment changes in gradually for some tax classes, so the City bills the Billable Value shown beside it, less any exemption the owner holds. It usually trails the assessment, and it can sit above it for a few years after an assessment falls. Figures are the New York City Department of Finance assessment roll for tax lot 3033830047. Assessed and billable values are determined by the City for tax purposes and are not an appraisal or an estimate of market value. Tax classes and rates are set annually and can change.
