Thoughtfully configured across two residences, the home provides excellent separation and functionality. Multiple points of entry throughout the property create added privacy and flexibility, making the layout especially well suited for multi-generational living, rental income, or guests.
The owner's duplex offers generous proportions, a flexible floor plan, direct access to a private outdoor area, and additional finished lower-level space that significantly expands the usable footprint of the home. The separate upper residence features an updated kitchen, spacious rooms, abundant natural light, and a comfortable layout that can serve as an attractive income-producing unit or additional living space.
Exposed brick details throughout bring warmth and authentic Brooklyn character, while recent improvements and ongoing upkeep provide a balance of charm and modern functionality.
Located just off Wilson Avenue, 186 Covert Street offers convenient access to nearby subway lines, along with a bus route just down the block, providing easy connectivity throughout Brooklyn and into Manhattan. Nearby parks, cafes, restaurants, and neighborhood destinations put the best of Bushwick within easy reach, while the home itself remains tucked away on a residential block.
With substantial square footage, multiple entrances, private outdoor space, two separate units, and a highly adaptable layout, 186 Covert Street offers buyers the opportunity to create a home that works for their lifestyle while also benefiting from meaningful income and investment potential.
Quick Profile
As one of the most diverse neighborhoods in New York, Bushwick offers a perfect snapshot of just how multicultural the city is. Long-established as an amalgam of cultures and ethnicities, a wave of varying types of immigrants trickled in from the seventeenth to twentieth centuries, with Bushwick largely becoming a home to Hispanics of Puerto Rican and Dominican backgrounds by the latter part of the twentieth century.
With the Bushwick Initiative of the mid-00s that aided in revitalization, it became an attractive area to young professionals and artists. And even now, Bushwick has sustained affordable rent prices where other North Brooklyn counterparts, like Williamsburg and Greenpoint, have become more expensive. Priding itself on the weird and the wacky, numerous art collectives thrive in this part of Brooklyn, once famously named the seventh coolest neighborhood in the world by Vogue.
Though it has drawn in many tourists in recent years (there’s even a graffiti tour you can take from the Bushwick Collective), the neighborhood remains very much community-oriented, and has not been subject to quite the same sort of corporate infiltration phenomenon of its nearby Williamsburg environs.
But yes, of course, Bushwick has come a very long way from its 80s and 90s reputation as being “The Well,” a nickname given to it for its free-flowing and widely available amount of drugs (quantity over quality being the cliche applied here).
