Property Description for 473 Lafayette Ave

Welcome to 473 Lafayette Avenue; a meticulously gut renovated two-family townhouse located at the crossroads of bustling Clinton Hill & Bedford Stuyvesant. This 20' wide, four story home consists of a sprawling owner's triplex with four bedrooms, three and a half bathrooms, plus a separated one bedroom garden apartment with access to a fully finished basement perfectly suited as a guest apartment or a substantial amount of rental income.

As soon as you enter the parlor floor you are greeted with warm walnut stained 5' white oak flooring, high ceilings, a cozy fireplace and an open floor-through layout perfect for entertaining. An expansive living, dining & kitchen quarters have distinct proportions drenched with top of the line finishes, highlighted by a custom chef's kitchen. German Leicht kitchen cabinetry is blended with a six-burner range, paneled Bosch dishwasher, built-in over/microwave, wine fridge & Quartz waterfall island. Your eat-in-kitchen overlooks your garden area as a formal dining area and powder room at the center completes your parlor floor.

Upstairs, you'll find your bedroom oasis with three-bedrooms, two full bathrooms (one of them being an en-suite) and laundry closet on the third level. The top floor is a jaw dropping primary suite consisting of the entire floor with massive walk-in-closets and a south facing spa-like windowed bathroom with a black and white themed tiled bathroom, deep soaking tub, rain shower, double vanities, a bidet and multiple skylights making for a sun-splashed zen atmosphere.

The garden level consists of a full floor 1 bedroom apartment currently duplexed with the finished basement and has access to the backyard space. The finished basement can easily be privatized for the main owner's unit while still earning a substantial amount of rental income from the garden level one bedroom. Additional features in the home includes brand new mechanicals, oversized Pella windows, 5-zone central heating/cooling with upgraded filtration, security cameras & speakers.

473 Lafayette Avenue is conveniently located just off the Clinton Hill border in bustling Bedford-Stuyvesant and is surrounded by neighborhood hotspots such as Speedy Romeos, Pilar Eatery, Clementine Bakery, Locanda Vini e Olii & Samurai Papa to name a few. You are also within a close proximity to Herbert Von King Park, the Pratt Institute, and the G & C train which makes for an easy commute around Brooklyn and into Manhattan. 473 Lafayette Avenue is a great opportunity to own a gut-renovated two-family home in western Bedford-Stuyvesant with value, while being just a short walk away from Clinton Hill, Fort Greene 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.
