Rarely do these gorgeous time capsules come available for sale in this part of the neighborhood; unlike most of the rest of Bushwick which has been flipped and sold so many times over, the area is inhabited by a stable, longtime middle class that doesn’t seem eager to leave. Even as prices skyrocketed in the property bubble, these houses often remained locked up to outsiders. Now a few are on the market for prices unthinkable in 2006, and this one will call out to those looking for historic charm and a deal. Absolutely every finish and fixture remains on the outside and entrance hall of the house, down to the stained glass skylight, pendant lamp, parquet floors, and wood paneling that covers the stairway. The street is tree-lined and clean, and you’d be a 5-minute walk to the Myrtle-Wyckoff hub and all its commerce and bustle.
