About This Home

Welcome to the iconic Lafayette Building, a treasured Art Deco landmark rich in history and character. Originally constructed in 1928 as a grand hotel comprising three separate structures, the Lafayette made history again in 1969 as the first building on the West Coast to be converted into condominiums.This desirable sixth-floor corner residence features two spacious primary bedrooms, each with its own en-suite bathroom. One bedroom offers a private entrance, presenting an ideal opportunity to rent it separately and offset mortgage expenses. The home boasts a bright, open-concept kitchen and living area, where timeless architectural details blend seamlessly with modern stainless steel appliances—perfect for both everyday living and entertaining.Adding to its appeal, the unit includes in-home laundry hookups, a rare and valuable feature within the building. The HOA offers exceptional amenities, including two BBQ patios, a fitness center, meeting and game rooms, a playhouse, a laundry facility, and exclusive access to the 11th-floor solarium. The building is also VA approved.Located in the heart of a vibrant neighborhood, residents enjoy walking-distance access to local art galleries, boutiques, restaurants, and cocktail lounges. As an added benefit, the Lafayette qualifies for Mills Act tax incentives, offering significant potential property tax savings. Don’t miss the opportunity to own a piece of history—schedule your private showing today.
