House of the Day: 104 Central Avenue
Here’s another wood frame on an oversize lot being sold as a development site. Longtime readers may recognize the house, which has a distinctive mural on the front, as belonging to BushwickBK founder and CafeterÃa La Mejor co-owners Jeremy Sapienza and Luis Velazquez.

Here’s another wood frame on an oversize lot being sold as a development site. Longtime readers may recognize the house, which has a distinctive mural on the front, as belonging to BushwickBK founder and CafeterÃa La Mejor co-owners Jeremy Sapienza and Luis Velazquez. The two have no plans to leave the area, Sapienza told us over the Thanksgiving weekend.
Like most Bushwick houses, it was already stripped of historic detail when Sapienza and Velazquez bought it for $570,000 in 2007, but they’ve fixed it up nicely, we think. (Incidentally, the mural is by street artist Overunder, aka Erik Burke.)
The two-story house at 104 Central Avenue is only 1,520 square feet, but a building as large as 6,075 square feet could be built on the 25 by 100 foot lot, according to PropertyShark.
The ask is $1,299,000. Do you think they will get it?

The house is fun and funky. Fixed up nicely… on what planet?
