Positioned on the eastern edge of Bedford-Stuyvesant near the Bushwick border, this substantial brick townhouse occupies a 19' x 100' lot and delivers a distinctive loft-inspired aesthetic rarely found in Brooklyn brownstone living. Originally built circa 1899 and comprehensively renovated in 2004-including the roof, windows, and interiors-the home blends turn-of-the-century character with clean architectural lines, soaring ceilings, and expansive open spaces. Configured as a spacious owner's duplex with internal access to a finished basement, plus a separate top-floor floor-through apartment, the property offers an ideal live-plus-income opportunity. Whether you're seeking supplemental income, long-term flexibility, or space for evolving lifestyle needs, the layout provides options that are increasingly valuable in today's market. The owner's residence spans the parlor and garden levels and is distinguished by oversized rooms, multiple alcoves, and abundant natural light from north and south exposures. The open-concept parlor floor serves as the centerpiece of the home, featuring a contemporary kitchen with stainless steel appliances, breakfast bar seating, and striking bay windows. Honey-toned hardwood floors run throughout, creating warmth and continuity across the living spaces. The generous bedroom configuration offers exceptional flexibility for home offices, guest accommodations, creative studios, fitness areas, libraries, or additional living spaces. The primary bedroom features a walk-in closet and north-facing bay windows, while additional bedrooms enjoy ample closet space and excellent proportions. Multiple alcoves throughout the home create opportunities for reading nooks, work-from-home setups, or quiet retreats. A finished basement with washer and dryer expands the home's usable square footage and functions as valuable bonus space, while the south-facing garden provides a private outdoor escape for entertaining, gardening, or relaxing. The separate top-floor floor-through apartment is bright and inviting, featuring an open kitchen with bar counter, hardwood floors, generous living space, and desirable north/south exposures. Its thoughtful layout and natural light make it an attractive rental opportunity in one of Brooklyn's most dynamic neighborhoods. Residents enjoy convenient access to local dining, cafés, grocery stores, pharmacies, fitness studios, parks, shopping, and everyday services throughout 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, a flexible income-producing layout, and a price point that represents compelling value relative to many newer luxury offerings, 544 Van Buren Street presents a rare opportunity to own a substantial Brooklyn townhouse with both character and earning potential. ## Property Details - **Property Type**: Multi Family - **Beds**: 5 - **Baths**: 3 - **Rooms**: 7 - **Sqft**: 2,850 sqft - **Stories**: 3 - **Year Built**: 1899 - **Price per Sqft**: $702 - **Monthly Taxes**: $729 / mo - **Listed On**: Jul 12, 2026 - **Days on Market**: 59 Days ### Residence Features - Window Unit(s) - Washer Hookup - In Unit - Private Outdoor Space Over 60 Sqft - Smoke Free - Storage - Walk-In Closet(s) - Washer Dryer Allowed ## Sales Evidence ### Recent closed sales 544 VAN BUREN Street has one recorded sale since September 2021, the most recent for $1,335,000 in May 2024. Prices are the figures recorded with the City, not asking prices. | Unit | Beds | Sold Price | Sold | Source | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Entire property (Multi Family) | 5 | $1,335,000 | May 3, 2024 | MLS | ### How this price compares The median closed price for comparable house sales in Stuyvesant Heights is $1,781,000, based on 23 sales between November 2021 and August 2026. This home is asking $2,000,000, $219,000 above that median. The middle half of those sales closed between $1,537,500 and $2,150,000. - **Median closed price**: $1,781,000 - **Middle half**: $1,537,500 – $2,150,000 - **Based on**: 23 house sales in Stuyvesant Heights - **Period**: November 2021 – August 2026 - **Median $/ft²**: $696/ft² Across the 21 of these sales with a published asking price, the median closed at 96.1% of what it originally asked. 76% 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 Stuyvesant Heights. Apartment sales are excluded from it entirely. ### How these sales were negotiated - **Sold vs original ask**: 96.1% of the original ask - **Closed below ask**: 76% of 21 sales - **Listed → in contract**: 68 days (about 10 weeks) - **In contract → closed**: 64 days (about 9 weeks) Across the 21 of these sales with a published asking price, the median closed at 96.1% of what it originally asked. 76% of them closed below the original ask. Half of these homes were in contract within 68 days (about 10 weeks) of coming to market, based on the 20 with a recorded listing date. Once a deal was agreed, closing took a further 64 days (about 9 weeks), based on the 20 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 23 house sales in Stuyvesant Heights, November 2021 – August 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 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.
