About This Home

As of November 2023

A Stunning Studio Designed with Spectacular Thought.
144 Lafayette Avenue, Apartment 2, challenges the idea of what a studio should be, with a strategic layout that creates organic separation and doesn't compromise on what's essential to the modern renter. The tone of this home is set from the curb. Residing in a classic Fort Greene townhome, with beautiful ironwork and a dynamic cornice, this studio takes cues from its exterior with equally stylish features that spark residential desire. Nothing here is an afterthought--from its white oak select wide plank floors and pendant lights to the double-hung solid wood efficiency windows and cooling split systems, every decision was a part of the big idea to Live Good.

The intention for this space to be great is set as soon as you enter. The architect for this home's recent renovation strategically placed the bathroom and kitchen in the center of its floor plan to create a sleeping quarter and a common area for guests without using doors. By not having a clear view of the bed when you enter, it creates an amazing sense of privacy. The common area is spacious enough for a medium-sized living set, dining, and an open office. So, whether you work from home or love to entertain, this home beautifully delivers with style. The kitchen keeps the stylish vibes going with a stainless steel appliance package, inclusive of a gas top stove and oven, exhaust range, double door fridge with ice/water dispenser, dishwasher, and chic stainless steel cabinets complemented by a butcher block surface. And, tucked away in a stylish pantry is an LG ThinQ stackable washer/dryer. On the other side of the kitchen. you'll find the sleeping quarter, off the quiet tranquil landscape garden, and a wood & mirror-paneled wall of closets and storage--it is your personal urban retreat. Positioning the bath a few feet from the bed makes it feel like an en suite spa. Its crisp, sleek design comes to life with elongated subway tiles, a frosted transom, and heated floors. This is where you want to get ready.

Fort Greene Brooklyn was recently ranked among the "40 coolest neighborhoods in the World" by Time Out Magazine. They factored in every local amenity, including community and social venues, access to open and green spaces, and its diverse residents. Culture beats, dribbles, and is made in Fort Greene; from the BAM Cultural District to the Barclay's Arena and Fort Greene Park you could never get lost because something great is waiting to be found around every corner. And since it's accessible by almost every major subway line in NYC, all you have to do is hop a train to 'Find Your Sweet Spot'.
