Property Description for 101 Lafayette Ave, 9-J
Calling all savvy investors, first time buyers, Pratt Students & Parents: this is a one of a kind & rare beauty that's not only flooded with light & spectacular views, but it's located in a building that acts more like a condo than a coop with its friendly owner building rules so that one can sublet, have a Pied a Terre or guarantor, pets, and put 10 percent down.
The views are tremendous and you can see both the Brooklyn and Manhattan bridges plus the Empire State Building and the Chrysler building too. Plus, there are tons of pre-war details including all of those luxurious details associated with a beautiful 1900s building: hardwood floors, coffered ceilings, walk-in closets, an extended long foyer/gallery and enormous leaded-pane windows.
Dominated by its wall of leaded pane windows, the apartment feels very large due to the combination of its extra-long entrance gallery plus an oversized living room which results in an overall length of 35 feet from the front-door to the bank of windows. The living room is spacious and measures over 19 feet providing plenty of room for a living room as well as a king-sized Murphy bed which is housed in a white cabinet. The open kitchen is right off the gallery with lots of cabinets, new butcher-block counter tops, and a large bar/island. There are 2 walk in closets plus the apartment has additional private storage locker in the basement. Maintenance is $496.
The Griffin, a 1901 building named for its gargoyles on the exterior, is Fort Greene's premier pre-war full service building. Located on the corner of beautiful South Oxford Street and Lafayette Ave, it is a "Park block?, just down the street from the historic Olmstead & Vaux Fort Greene Park. Additionally, South Oxford is well known as the quintessential tree-lined Brooklyn Brownstone block and locals know that's where episodes of the TV show "Girls" were filmed.
The buildings many amenities include a full time doorman, a large renovated laundry room & bike room plus the aforementioned extra storage lockers. It is close to all the subways, restaurants, Brooklyn Flea and Fort Greene's Outdoor green market on the weekends.
Asking Price: $459,000

Fort Greene | Brooklyn
Quick Profile
Conveniently situated just north of the beautiful and lush Prospect Park, Fort Greene is rich with history. Representative of an aesthetic that Brooklyn is often associated with--the brownstone and row house architecture being an institution of the community--Fort Greene is decidedly singular in visual style. As part of the National Register of Historic Places, this South Brooklyn neighborhood offers unique charm and plenty of character.
Beginning with its early military-oriented inception (the territory was central to the Battle of Long Island), Fort Greene has always been recognized for its spaciousness and a sense of openness. Filled with nature and greenery, it is also home to its very own eponymously named park in addition to being in close proximity to Brooklyn’s largest recreational area, Prospect Park (containing the beloved Prospect Park Zoo within it).
Many residents come from different socioeconomic backgrounds and commute to their workplaces in Manhattan, while keeping Fort Greene as their separate haven. The diversity of the area has proven to be one of the few examples of a Brooklyn neighborhood maintaining its roots in part thanks to its protected status.
