## Property Overview

544 Van Buren Street Bedford-Stuyvesant
  Offered at $1,899,000

   A Vision in White

 In a Bedford-Stuyvesant market where many townhouses arrive with someone else's design choices already made, 544 Van Buren Street offers something increasingly compelling: substantial scale, an income-producing configuration, meaningful development potential, and the ability to customize a home that reflects your own vision.

 Positioned on the eastern edge of Bedford-Stuyvesant near the Bushwick border, this substantial brick townhouse sits on a 19' x 100' lot and offers approximately 2,850 square feet of interior space, with a distinctive sense of openness rarely found in traditional Brooklyn townhouse living. Originally built circa 1899, the home underwent a full gut renovation in 2006. Features include high ceilings, expansive rooms, north and south exposures, and a loft-inspired aesthetic that provides an ideal foundation for thoughtful customization.

 Configured as a legal two-family residence, the property features a spacious owner's duplex with internal access to a finished basement, plus a separate top-floor floor-through apartment. The owner's residence offers three bedrooms and one-and-a-half bathrooms, while the top-floor apartment features one bedroom and one bathroom. Live comfortably while generating supplemental rental income, create space for extended living, or reimagine the interiors over time-the existing configuration provides a strong starting point for the next chapter of your life.

 The owner's residence spans three floors across the basement, first, and second floors, where oversized rooms, multiple alcoves, bay windows, and abundant natural light create a sense of volume and possibility. The open parlor floor serves as the centerpiece of the home, with spacious living and dining areas and an existing kitchen with stainless steel appliances and breakfast bar seating. Honey-toned hardwood floors add warmth throughout, while the home's clean architectural lines provide a versatile backdrop ready to be refreshed and personalized.

 The bedroom configuration allows for a variety of uses beyond traditional sleeping quarters, including home offices, guest accommodations, creative studios, fitness areas, libraries, or other spaces tailored to the next owner's needs. The primary bedroom features a walk-in closet and north-facing bay windows, while additional bedrooms offer comfortable proportions and closet space. Throughout the residence, alcoves and open areas invite creative possibilities for built-ins, reading corners, workspaces, and other custom touches.

 A finished basement with washer and dryer provides valuable bonus space, while the south-facing garden extends the living experience outdoors. Whether envisioned for entertaining, gardening, dining, or simply relaxing, the garden provides a private setting to make distinctly your own.
 The separate top-floor floor-through apartment further enhances the home's versatility and income potential. With one bedroom, one bathroom, an open kitchen with bar counter, hardwood floors, spacious living areas, and north and south exposures, the apartment is well suited for rental income while maintaining privacy between the two residences.

 Adding another dimension to the offering is the property's development potential. Public records indicate a 3.0 residential FAR, with approximately 5,700 square feet of maximum buildable area compared with approximately 2,850 square feet currently built. This represents approximately 2,850 square feet of additional buildable area, allowing a buyer or developer to explore a significant expansion of the existing property. Any development or expansion is subject to applicable zoning regulations, approvals, and independent due diligence.
 Beyond the home, residents enjoy convenient access to the restaurants, cafés, grocery stores, parks, fitness studios, shopping, and everyday conveniences of Bedford-Stuyvesant and neighboring Bushwick. Transportation options include the J and Z trains at Kosciuszko Street, along with the B38, B46, B46-SBS, B47, B52, and Q24 bus lines.

 With annual property taxes of approximately $8,745, substantial townhouse proportions, an income-producing layout, private outdoor space, interiors poised for customization, and significant additional buildable area, 544 Van Buren Street presents a compelling chance to own, personalize, and potentially expand a Brooklyn townhouse with the space and character to evolve alongside its next owner.

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.

Sales data through August 2026.

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.

The City has not published the official FY2026/27 and FY2025/26 tax rates yet. 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 3016180011. 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.
