About This Property

Discover 420 Lafayette Avenue, a magnificent 4-story plus basement Brownstone, designed as a 2-family home with a South-facing garden, ready to move in. The property offers endless options, currently arranged as a triplex over a garden apartment, but can easily be converted back to a double duplex or a single family. Located just outside the Clinton Hill Historic District at the junction of Clinton Hill and Bedford Stuyvesant, close to Pratt University, and just steps away from the G Classon train, this home offers convenient transportation and the best of Brooklyn.

Built in the 1870s during the peak of the Aesthetic Movement, this property has been meticulously preserved and maintained for nearly 150 years. The interior features original architectural details such as period brass lighting fixtures, marble mantles, original doors, pocket shutters, intricately carved woodwork, and massive pier and mantle mirrors.

The triplex owner's unit comprises a spacious parlor with tall sun-filled windows, original white marble fireplace mantles, and an impressive front entrance. The second floor features a sunny eat-in kitchen with new stainless-steel appliances, a butler's pantry, and a well-proportioned den or bedroom. The top floor offers spacious front and rear bedrooms, a walk-in closet, and a marble full bath.

The garden level provides income-generating rental space or extra living and entertaining space with a kitchen, washer/dryer, and a spacious full bathroom. The property also boasts a brand-new roof and a dry cellar with additional storage and upgraded mechanicals. The property will be delivered vacant, providing an incredible lifestyle and multiple options for a creative, savvy, and sophisticated buyer. Don't miss this rare chance to own a piece of Brooklyn history.
