Tucked away on a quiet, tree-lined block in the heart of Bushwick, this stunning home spans over 3,000 square feet and offers five bedrooms and five baths across two spacious residences—perfect for end users, investors, or anyone craving flexibility in their living space.
Just completed with a full-gut renovation, every detail has been thoughtfully designed—from the warm oak floors and custom millwork to the designer lighting and high-end finishes throughout. The result is a home that feels both modern and timeless, where prewar charm meets contemporary comfort.
The owner’s duplex is the heart of the home, featuring an expansive open parlor floor that’s made for entertaining. The living area flows into a sleek chef’s kitchen with floor-to-ceiling wood grain cabinetry, brushed gold hardware, double wall ovens, and brand-new stainless steel appliances. The large island with Taj Mahal quartzite countertops is perfect for casual dining or hosting friends, while the accordion glass doors open wide to a private deck overlooking the beautifully landscaped backyard—creating that seamless indoor-outdoor lifestyle everyone dreams of. A chic wet bar in the dining area makes entertaining effortless, and the layout offers generous space for both lounging and dining.
Upstairs, the bedroom level offers peace and privacy. The primary suite impresses with a spa-like en-suite bath featuring a double vanity, soaking tub, and rain shower. Two additional bedrooms and a full laundry room complete this floor. Follow the sunlit staircase crowned by a skylight up to the private roof deck, where you’ll enjoy Manhattan skyline views—the perfect perch for morning coffee or sunset cocktails.
The finished cellar adds even more versatility, offering a generous recreation space with direct access to the backyard—ideal for a gym, home theater, or playroom.
The garden-level apartment is a bright and inviting space with its own modern kitchen, two bedrooms, and access to the backyard. Use it as an income-producing rental, in-law suite, or private guest quarters—the choice is yours.
Located just moments from local favorites like Sally Roots, Bushwick Public House, Dweebs Café, and Honey’s, you’ll love the creative energy and community spirit that define this neighborhood. Enjoy easy access to the L, J, and Z trains, getting you to Manhattan or Williamsburg in minutes.
Whether you’re looking for a dream home to grow into or a smart investment with long-term value, 125 Schaefer Street delivers it all—space, light, luxury, and that unmistakable Brooklyn charm.
Come see it, and fall in love.
