89 Pilling is on one of Bushwick’s more beautiful blocks, far at the south end of the neighborhood. Pretty brick and brownstone homes with sharp details are relatively clean and — gasp! — some are landscaped. Large trees shade the block until it gives way to warehouses at the end. There are no interior photos, but the inside is likely as well-maintained as the outside. The transportation situation here is very good: both trains are within about a 5-minute walk. That’s good because you will need to take the train to go almost anywhere fun or tasty.

isn’t this closer to the bushwick-aberdeen L train station? either way, not a bad walk for any of the trains. it’s such a strange area, these streets are oddly nice, but bushwick ave gets really industrial down at its terminus, and not in that swell loft-livin north-bushwick style.

I think this is actually closest to the L train at Bushwick/Aberdeen, but it’s close to Wilson and Chauncey J/Z too. not bad!

Have to agree with Jeremy that this is one of Bushwick’s most beautiful blocks. Pilling St. has also had one of the area’s strongest block associations – and most terrific block parties!
The house works best as a two family, with a duplex for the owner. Even at that, the price is fine. Go for it.
