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 - **Price**: $2,000,000 - **Potential Buyer Rebate**: $50,000 - **Bedrooms**: 5 - **Bathrooms**: 3 - **Living Area**: 2,850 sqft - **Property Type**: Residential - **Year Built**: 1899 - **Building**: 544 VAN BUREN Street - **Neighbourhood**: Stuyvesant Heights - **Area / Borough**: Brooklyn - **Subdivision**: Stuyvesant Heights - **Listing Office**: Corcoran Group - **State**: NY ## Estimated Potential Buyer Savings Real Estate Rebate Team estimates potential buyer savings of up to **$50,000** at closing. *Estimated by Real Estate Rebate Team.
