Tired of the lack of townhomes on the market and think that you've seen it all? You need to visit 420A Lafayette Avenue. You can not miss the opportunity to own this stunning home!
Sitting on the border of Bed Stuy and Clinton Hill, 420A Lafayette Avenue is a gorgeous 2 family townhome that has been thoughtfully owner renovated. Appreciate the attention to lovely restored original details, combined with modern amenities, all at a price that will make you want to move! A quiet oasis, warm and charming, this already feels like the home of your dreams.
Set up as an owners triplex, over a garden rental, live in comfort while collecting rent. There are 5 combined levels of living space.
Enter the parlor, through the historic original doors, to an open floor-plan. The light flows throughout, with oversized windows facing north and south. Love the high ceilings finished with medallions, decorative mantels, and stunning wood floors. Cook and entertain in the large south facing kitchen with direct access to the deck and backyard. There is also a stylish powder room tucked on this level for convenience.
On the second floor there's an office and large primary suite, complete with a walk in closet and huge en-suite spa bathroom.
On the top level there are 2 additional large bedrooms and full windowed bathroom.
There is a 1 bedroom / 1 bathroom rental on the garden level of the home, pristine and ready to offset the owners costs, if so desired.
Bypass the rental unit internally, to access a finished cellar that is perfect use as an art studio, music, exercise or playroom.
