Description#

Major work completed! All rugs in the upper bedrooms are now removed and changed to new wood panel flooring and the rugs in the stairwells and hallways are removed and replaced with beautiful hardwood flooring. The stairwells, banisters, and spindles were all refinished and are brand new. Unit 2 of this classic 20' wide brownstone at 168 Lafayette Ave is a massive 4 bed, 2.5 bath triplex with private entrance and foyer through the parlor level. With exposures to the North/South, this home enjoys direct sunlight all day through the Southern-facing windows with unobstructed views of the city and sky. Entering through the parlor level brings you to a lovely entry foyer with original double doors, pier mirror with sitting bench, and handy coat closet. Up the stairs leads to the main level of unit 2, which occupies the top 3 floors of the brownstone. Wonderful details grace this level such as soaring 10' ceilings and original details such as the decorative fireplaces with marble mantles, parquet floors, crown molding, and classic townhouse shutters flanking upgraded windows. Despite preserving many of these original details, the home features modern upgrades such as updated mechanicals, new appliances, and mini-split AC/heating! There is also radiator heating for that additional classic feel. Original ornate handrails lead you up the winding staircase to the first bedroom level. Two large bedrooms each have walk in closets, decorative fireplaces with marble mantles, and beautiful tree-lined views. On this floor is a brand new full-sized vented washer/dryer. The gorgeous windowed bathroom on this floor, with skyline and city views, features a double vanity and classy clawfoot tub. Up one final time is the 5th floor of the home - another two giant bedrooms and an extra home office/playroom bonus room. Like the floor below, this level includes a full bathroom with another clawfoot tub. 168 Lafayette Avenue is a classic 2-family brownstone located in the heart of Fort Greene, one of Brooklyn's most desirable, convenient, and tree-dense neighborhoods. This special home is in close proximity to many subway and bus lines, restaurants, and points of interest such as the Barclays Center, BAM, Whole Foods, and Fort Greene park with its weekend farmer's market. Pets allowed case-by-case, no smoking, no short term rentals. Note: The grayed out area in the Parlor level of the floor plan is not part of Unit 2. The Parlor level shows Unit 2's private entrance and foyer
