1117 Jefferson Avenue is one of those homes in this area which kept its second-floor entrance, instead of chopping it off and having the entrance on the garden level. Inside, there are some modern touches but built-ins and some other details seem to have been left intact. This property is listed as a single family but the records show it as a legal three-family — I don’t know if this is just poorly described by the agent or it’s actually been turned into an eight-bedroom home for one family. Either way, it’s a great deal by square footage, and it’s on one of those shady tree-lined blocks off of historic Bushwick Avenue.
