About This Property
Welcome to this iconic and palatial 20' brownstone located in the
heart of Fort Greene. With a whopping 5 stories plus a
cellar, this 4700+ sq foot townhouse allows for gracious
entertaining and comfortable living. You will be blown away
by the high ceilings, original details, and classic feel of this
stunning home. The house is currently configured as a legal two
family garden/parlor duplex and an upper triplex, but easily
transforms into a grand single family home.
Up the stoop, you enter into the parlor level through the original ornate double doors, down the foyer with a gorgeous pier mirror. The soaring 11.5' high ceilings draw the eye upwards to the lovely plaster work on the ceiling. This level of the house features the main living and dining rooms, kitchen and charming powder room allowing an ideal easy flow for hosting guests. Two fireplaces are surrounded by original marble mantles, and while currently decorative, could be restored for future use. Gorgeous original etched-glass pocket doors separate the living room from the dining and kitchen. Conveniently accessed through the kitchen is a deck with room for grilling and dining, leading to a staircase to the backyard. A 32' deep backyard is landscaped and designed with lounging and planting in mind.
The recently renovated garden level of the house features two large bedrooms and 1.5 bathrooms. The garden facing primary bedroom has a large fully-renovated, en-suite bath, boasting a separate tub and shower and a double vanity. This bedroom is incredibly quiet and has direct access to the yard. The front bedroom is spacious and could easily be an office, den, or children's playroom in a single family home conversion.
The upper triplex unit is massive in its proportions and is currently laid out to have the living, dining, kitchen and a half bath on the 3rd floor of the house, with 2 floors of bedrooms above featuring four oversized bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms and an office or storage space. The kitchen has been recently renovated, as have the bathrooms. Most recently used as a rental unit, this triplex could become a 2500+ sq foot owners' unit or easily incorporated into the whole house seamlessly.
This house benefits from recently updated mechanicals, roofing, central AC, upgraded electric, recently replaced windows and other infrastructure updates. A clean, usable cellar is set up for storage, has nearly 7' ceilings, and is a blank canvas for a future owner to reimagine. Delivered vacant.
168 Lafayette is located in the heart of Fort Greene. With BAM and the Barclays Center just moments away and a plethora of top rated restaurants in the surrounding blocks, there's hardly a need to leave the area. For the rare times you may need to leave this charming neighborhood, there are an array of transportation options within a few blocks. Fort Greene Park with both the greenmarket and fun neighborhood vibe is 3 blocks away. Come see why this location is considered by Time Out Magazine to be the Coolest Neighborhood in NYC.
