Off the kitchen is a private terrace - perfect for relaxing, entertaining, or enjoying outdoor dining during the summer months. The backyard is thoughtfully divided into two sections. The rear portion has been raised and cemented for easy maintenance and is ideal for outdoor furniture, gatherings, or a lounge area. Upstairs, you will find two bedrooms, an additional room, and two full bathrooms. The primary bedroom is filled with sunlight and features an en-suite bathroom with a stand-up shower.

The apartment also includes access to the basement, providing excellent storage and additional functionality. This unit presents a great opportunity to generate strong rental income. While the block itself is peaceful and residential, the neighborhood is surrounded by popular dining spots, cafes, and bars including Alex's Luncheonette, Fazio's, They Say, Double, and Bar Cornelia. Bushwick continues to grow as one of Brooklyn's most sought-after neighborhoods, making this an exceptional opportunity for both end users and investors alike. ## Property Details - **Property Type**: Multi Family - **Beds**: 4 - **Total Baths**: 4 - **Rooms**: 7 - **Sqft**: 1,839 sqft - **Stories**: 3 - **Year Built**: 1910 - **Price per Sqft**: $761 - **Monthly Taxes**: $580 / mo - **Listed On**: May 26, 2026 - **Days on Market**: 104 Days ### Residence Features - Central Air - Washer Hookup - In Unit - Garden - Private Outdoor Space Under 60 Sqft - Smoke Free - Dishwasher - Washer Dryer Allowed ## Sales Evidence ### 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 $1,400,000, $280,000 below 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 3033760017. 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.
