2-bedroom condo for sale in Bushwick

Welcome to Residence 1 at 696 Chauncey Street, an expansive two-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bathroom duplex offering 1,585 square feet of interior living space and an exceptional 563-square-foot private garden, nestled along one of Bushwick's most picturesque streets. The main level unfolds into a gracious open living and dining space framed by floor-to-ceiling windows and wide-plank oak flooring, creating a bright, contemporary backdrop for everyday living and entertaining. At its center, the fully ventilated kitchen is appointed with a full suite of Bosch appliances, integrated wine refrigerator, generous cabinetry, and an oversized peninsula that creates a natural gathering point between the kitchen and living space. Tucked privately toward the rear of the residence, two well-proportioned bedrooms overlook the garden. The primary suite features its own en-suite bath, while the additional full bathroom is conveniently positioned just outside the secondary bedroom. The residence's oversized bathrooms are finished with full-height tilework extending to the ceiling, lending a refined, cohesive quality throughout. Beyond the bedrooms, an extraordinary 563-square-foot private garden creates a true extension of the home and a rare setting for outdoor dining, entertaining, gardening, or quiet mornings outdoors. Downstairs, an expansive 25-foot-wide recreation room offers remarkable flexibility for a media lounge, home office, fitness space, playroom, or additional entertaining area. A powder room and in-unit washer and dryer complete the lower level, allowing the space to function independently from the more private living quarters above. Originally built with a classic barrel-front facade and thoughtfully converted into a boutique five-residence condominium, 696 Chauncey Street pairs the character of Brooklyn architecture with refined contemporary interiors and modern conveniences, including a virtual doorman and common rooftop. Set along a picturesque, tree-lined stretch of Chauncey Street, where a lush canopy of mature trees lends the block a distinctly residential feel, the residence is surrounded by neighborhood cafes, restaurants, green spaces, and everyday conveniences, with nearby J, Z, and L trains providing convenient access throughout Brooklyn and into Manhattan. Residence 1R presents a rare combination of scale, private outdoor living, and the intimacy of a boutique condominium, all within one of Brooklyn's most dynamic neighborhoods.
