This pretty building is so typical of this part of Bushwick, a lovely, stable island of intact brick homes with well-maintained postage-stamp yards. But this is no mere two-family — it also has a storefront and 4 antique-doored garage spaces, which the second-floor apartment uses as a roof deck/back “yard.” These homes tend to be owner-occupied, so it’s likely this house is in decent shape inside. The block’s quaintness shouldn’t be confused with isolation — the huge wonderland of Food Bazaar is just around the corner and the L/M hub is a 5-minute walk.
