About This Home
As of March 2026Introducing 1044 Lafayette Avenue - a freshly renovated, sun-soaked single-family Brownstone that mixes Brooklyn vibes and modern finishes. This home was totally reimagined with real-life living in mind: roughly 2,600 sq ft across three stories, 4 bedrooms, 3.5 baths, a finished cellar, and amazingly low $2,693/year taxes. Yes, please!
Step into the parlor level and you're greeted by a double door foyer to keep your shoes, umbrellas and coats contained. The living room sets the vibe with exposed brick and a decorative fireplace, flowing right into a dining area where you can host dinner parties galore. The kitchen features a center island, a five-burner gas range with hood, Bosch French door refrigerator with water and ice dispenser, Bosch dishwasher, drawer microwave, and tons of counter and cabinet space. A designated bar/coffee area with a double wine cooler (cheers!) and a pantry are on the opposite wall. A chic powder room and access to the deck + sunny backyard complete the floor.
Perched on the top level is a calm, sunny space. The primary suite features a built out walk-in closet and an en suite with double sinks and a rainforest shower. Two more bedrooms: one with a decorative fireplace, the other with stylish exposed brick, plus a full bathroom and laundry room with a washer & dryer.
On the garden level, accessible from both the main staircase and a private under-the-stoop entrance, you'll find a roomy den with the home's third decorative fireplace, a wet bar, a large bedroom with garden access, and a full bathroom with a freestanding soaking tub. Perfect for guests, a home office or just extra hangout space. Another staircase leads you to the finished cellar which would be ideal for a playroom, studio, home office, or storage.
All of this sits on a peaceful, tree-lined block moments from the best of Bed-Stuy and Bushwick-think Passionfruit Café, L'Antagoniste, Halsey Market and Trad Room-plus the newly updated Jesse Owens Park just half a block away. And with the J train nearby, commuting is a breeze. Street parking is easy and Citibikes are plentiful.
