The sophisticated brownstone from 1905 marries classic charm with modern panache. You'll find soaring parlor-floor ceilings, crown molding, and oak-plank floors - plus a sleek kitchen remodeled in 2022, central air in every room, custom built-ins for ample storage, and a Bosch washer-and-dryer set. Enter through the building's shared entrance to reach the home's light-filled parlor floor, featuring a minimalist kitchen, garden-facing bedroom, airy living room, and full bathroom. The eat-in chef's kitchen is designed for culinary creativity and maximum storage, with clean-line custom cabinetry concealing a built-in Liebherr refrigerator and Miele appliances, including a dishwasher. It's all anchored by a 15.5-foot-long Caesarstone countertop, with plenty of room to host sizable dinner parties. The kitchen's large windows overlook a 19th-century wood-frame mansion on Lafayette Avenue - a picture-perfect view while sipping morning coffee. Descend a staircase to reach the charming garden floor, with a private second entrance and basement access equipped with shared storage. A long hallway links two spacious bedrooms with ensuite, subway-tile bathrooms. The primary bedroom features custom white closets with maple interiors, while the second bedroom offers tranquil views of the rhododendron-fringed garden. A quiet office provides direct access to the serene, secluded outdoor space, where the only sounds you'll occasionally hear are distant church bells. 217 Lafayette Avenue sits at the intersection of architecturally alluring Clinton Hill Historic District and leafy Fort Greene, named "the coolest neighborhood in NYC" by Time Out in 2023. Skip a block north to Dekalb Avenue, epicenter of Fort Greene's vibrant bar-and-restaurant scene, with popular spots like Sailor, Miss Ada, and Evelina. You'll find convenient grocery shopping at nearby Whole Foods and Green Grape Provisions. Major cultural landmarks are a stone's throw away - including Brooklyn Academy of Music (BAM) and Barclays Center - and you can reach Fort Greene Park's 30 acres in under 15 minutes. The G train is one block east and the A/C is three blocks south: commuting to Manhattan, Queens, and around Brooklyn is a breeze.
