Property Description for 149 Lafayette Ave, 5-A
This pristine 2 bedroom Fort Greene coop apartment has two exposures and a multitude of windows that make for a bright & sunny living (or work from home) space with beautiful treetop views. The spacious living area provides ample room for a separate dining area, and includes a large tucked-away storage closet, which, like all of the closets in the home, is fitted with an Elfa organizing system.
The bright, well-designed kitchen features under cabinet lighting, an extra-deep sink, Bosch dishwasher, fridge, electric oven with vented hood, and Miele gas cooktop. Storage is maximized with double-deep, soft-closing drawers. Counters & backsplash are marble, and there's a cute breakfast bar for two.
Both bedrooms are good-sized with ample closets that are equipped with Elfa systems and Artemide lighting. The modern bathrooms includes radiant floor heating, a soaking tub, hand shower, and a vented Whisperlite fan. The full-sized LG washer and vented gas dryer are conveniently located just outside the bath. Additional features include recessed lighting, Lutron dimmers, and Nest smoke alarms.
This very well-run and friendly coop has a pleasant front garden and bike storage. Best of all, this apartment is located in the true heart of Fort Greene, with its abundant shops & restaurants, Saturday Farmer's Market, fabulous Fort Greene Park, and access to multiple subway lines and Downtown Brooklyn!

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.
