Create endless, lasting moments at 151 Lafayette Ave - a beautiful fully renovated and sun-filled Fort Greene duplex where classic brownstone character meets magazine-ready finishes and an expansive private garden.

This pristine corner 2-bedroom residence with den and home office offers 1,200 square feet of thoughtfully arranged living space, enhanced by rare triple exposures that give every room warm natural light. Best of all, the home opens directly onto a sprawling private backyard - an entertainer's dream and a gardener's blank canvas - all in the heart of Fort Greene

Framed by a lush front garden, this beautifully maintained brownstone exudes timeless charm and sets a tranquil tone that carries throughout the home. Upon entering the foyer of this unique duplex apartment, you're immediately greeted by a wide-open living and dining area. Oversized windows with triple exposures flood the space with light, while a windowed door provides seamless access to the backyard, blurring the line between indoor comfort and outdoor living.

The newly renovated kitchen is a showpiece in its own right, anchored by a high-end Wolf Range and premium stainless steel appliances. Bay windows, custom cabinetry, subway tile backsplash, quartz countertops, and a spacious island complete the perfect setting for cooking, entertaining, or simply gathering with friends. Throughout the home you will appreciate the details of the complete renovation like gorgeous oak floors and central ac and heating.

At the front of the home, a corner bedroom boasts oversized windows facing South and West, generous built-in closets, and space for a king-sized bed. Just adjacent sits the renovated spa like full bathroom and a hallway lined with closets and a convenient laundry area. A second bedroom rests quietly toward the rear of the home with windows to the peaceful garden.

The lower level offers incredible flexibility with two rooms that can be used as you please - den, media lounge, playroom, home office, or fitness studio - the possibilities are endless.

Finally, the crown jewel: a sprawling, landscaped private garden - your own private urban sanctuary. With mature plantings around the perimeter, there's ample room for dining, lounging, play, or cultivating your own green oasis. 

Life at 151 Lafayette places you in the heart of vibrant Fort Greene, just two blocks from Fort Greene Park and moments from acclaimed neighborhood favorites like Walter's, Roman's, Colonia Verde, Evelina, and Olea for dining, Greene Grape Provisions for gourmet shopping, and Bittersweet Café for your morning coffee. The Brooklyn Academy of Music (BAM), Barclays Center, and the Downtown Brooklyn cultural district.
