The two-bedroom garden apartment below is thoughtfully laid out with its own washer/dryer and access to a private backyard oasis, making it ideal for rental income, guests, or multigenerational living.
Additional highlights include a private rooftop with skyline views, white oak floors throughout, and all-new mechanical systems. Located on a tree-lined block near Bushwick’s best cafes, galleries, and the L and M trains, 118 Schaefer Street is the perfect blend of luxury, versatility, and location.
