Property Description for 101 Lafayette Ave, 9-K

Live in Fort Greene's most sought after prewar doorman building. The Griffin was built in 1931 and stands tall amidst Brooklyn's finest brownstones, perfectly located on a tree lined street 1 block from Fort Greene Park and the C and G subway lines. Also a short walk away is the new Barclays Center, BAM and the Atlantic Ave. subway hub with the B, D, Q, 2/3, 4, 5, N and R subway lines as well as the LIRR.

This large studio is full of all the charm of a classic prewar with 9 foot beamed ceilings, hardwood floors and a large casement window that fills the apartment with sunlight and allows open western views over brownstone roofs towards the water beyond. The gut renovated kitchen has been well designed with a highly efficient layout and includes a beautiful glass tile back splash, IceStone counter tops and stainless steel appliances. The large walk-in closet has been completely custom fitted.

The building is pet friendly and features 24hr doorman, live-in super, central laundry, private storage (4'x6'x7'High @ $46/month), and an elegantly restored lobby. The very liberal sublet policy makes this a perfect investment or Pied-A-Terre. $22.26 Assessment in place for Local Law 11 for next 4 years. CONTRACT SIGNED.

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.
