About This Home

101 Lafayette Avenue #5E

Welcome to this bright and spacious residence at The Griffin, a distinguished Art Deco cooperative ideally situated on one of Fort Greene's most picturesque tree-lined blocks. Oversized steel casement windows with eastern exposures flood the home with natural light while framing beautiful views over historic brownstones, lush treetops, and the striking Gothic spires of Queen of All Saints Church, one of Fort Greene's most recognizable architectural landmarks. Beautiful hardwood floors, high beamed ceilings, and timeless prewar details create a warm and inviting atmosphere throughout. Thoughtfully designed with an exceptional layout, the home comfortably accommodates separate living, dining, sleeping, and work-from-home areas, allowing each space to feel distinct while maintaining an open and airy feel. A welcoming foyer with two generous closets provides excellent storage before opening into the expansive living area. The windowed kitchen has been tastefully renovated with sleek white cabinetry accented by rich burgundy lacquer finishes, stainless steel appliances, generous counter space, and abundant natural light. Its contemporary design adds warmth and character while remaining highly functional for everyday living. The bathroom features timeless marble tile, classic black-and-white mosaic flooring, and an original Art Deco soaking tub that reflects the building's historic character. The Griffin Originally built in the 1930s, The Griffin is a beautifully maintained Art Deco cooperative offering residents a full-service lifestyle with a 24-hour doorman, live-in superintendent, two elevators, a spacious laundry room, and bike storage (waitlist). The building is pet friendly and permits pied-à-terre ownership, co-purchasing, subletting, and up to 80% financing, all subject to board approval. The Neighborhood Perfectly positioned in the heart of Fort Greene, the residence is just one tree-lined block from Fort Greene Park and its beloved Saturday Greenmarket. The neighborhood is celebrated for its historic brownstones, landmark architecture, acclaimed restaurants, charming cafés, independent boutiques, and vibrant cultural scene. Enjoy neighborhood favorites including Roman's, Sailor, Theodora, and the Brooklyn Academy of Music (BAM), while Barclays Center, Atlantic Terminal, City Point, Whole Foods, and Apple are all just moments away. Commuting is effortless with the C and G trains just around the corner, while Atlantic Terminal provides access to the 2, 3, 4, 5, B, D, N, Q, and R subway lines, as well as the Long Island Rail Road, connecting you quickly to Manhattan and beyond.
