Rare Corner Brick 8 Family with Garage in Prime Bushwick! This unique brick 4-story property is located on the corner of Knickerbocker Ave and Putnam Ave in Prime Bushwick. It is 0. 5 miles to Halsey St L train station, Irving Square Park and only 1 block to B60 bus stop. It is surrounded by stores, supermarkets, coffee shops, restaurants, and much more. This pristine corner 4-story brick building offers a unique setup and is an ideal opportunity for an owner-user or savvy investor. It features: - All units are Rent Stabilized, except Unit 4L (Formerly Rent Controlled) - Two vacant apartments - Unit 1R (Rent Stabilized, Vacant): Ideal for owner occupancy. Located adjacent to the garage — potential to combine, expand, or create a duplex with roof deck access. Unlock private outdoor space or build your dream home studio. - Unit 4L (Formerly Rent Controlled, Vacant): Can be legally renovated for ~$65K–$75K and rented at market rate (~$3, 200/mo). Adds $38, 400/year to NOI, pushing total income to ~$141K. - Attached garage with curb cut – use as parking, private studio, or expand your live/work space. Use the curb cut for private parking or delivery access. The garage is leased until May 2027. - Projected break-even occupancy – with approx. $800K down, your monthly mortgage + taxes are offset by the rental income. Live for free while your tenants cover your mortgage. This kind of flexible, mixed-use residential setup is increasingly rare in Brooklyn — especially with vacancy, upside, and control already in place.

* The Initial Interest Rate and Initial Principal & Interest Payment are fixed for the first and adjust every six months thereafter for the remainder of the loan term. The Interest Rate and annual percentage rate may increase after consummation. The Index for this product is the SOFR. The margin for this adjustable rate mortgage may vary with your unique credit history, and terms of your loan.

** Mortgage Rates are subject to change, loan amount and product restrictions and may not be available for your specific transaction at commitment or closing. Rates, and the margin for adjustable rate mortgages [if applicable], are subject to change without prior notice.

The rates and Annual Percentage Rate (APR) cited above may be only samples for the purpose of calculating payments and are based upon the following assumptions: minimum credit score of 740, 20% down payment (e.g. $20,000 down on a $100,000 purchase price), $1,950 in finance charges, and 30 days prepaid interest, 1 point, 30 day rate lock. The rates and APR will vary depending upon your unique credit history and the terms of your loan, e.g. the actual down payment percentages, points and fees for your transaction. Property taxes and homeowner's insurance are estimates and subject to change.
