About This Home
Some homes are merely houses. Others are statements. 904 Lafayette is the latter, a masterfully curated two-family 20’ wide 40’ deep brownstone where heirloom architecture and razor-sharp modern sensibility exist in rare, effortless harmony. The owner's duplex is a three-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom owner's duplex that announces itself with a sculptural entryway foyer before opening into a breathtaking parlor level with 10-foot+ ceilings soaring overhead. Exposed brick running through left wall as well and classic moldings and banisters evident as you walk in. With south facing windows in the rear natural light pours right in accenting the kitchen. Additionally, and a rarity, there is a wood-burning fireplace anchoring the space with warmth and theatre, and an open-concept flow that makes entertaining feel almost inevitable, especially with your fully Bose equipped speaker system, that can be controlled in each room. Warm oak floors run underfoot throughout, large windows pour in northern and southern light, and the entire composition hums with intentionality. At the heart of the home: a chef's kitchen that earns the title. Custom cabinetry, thick stone countertops, and a full Viking appliance suite converge into a culinary sanctuary that spills directly onto a private back patio, seamlessly blurring the line between indoors and out. A front patio, a generous backyard, and a finished cellar round out a home with more square footage than meets the eye. Upstairs, the primary suite is a proper retreat, twin reach-in closets, a spa-caliber en-suite with double vanity and a walk-in shower that begs for a tranquil morning. Two additional bedrooms offer their own closet space and share a second full bath with quiet sophistication. Both rooms ample and size fit all your needs. Additionally, direct access to the fully finished high ceiling cellar gives the future owner additional recreational and storage space, a luxury in NYC. Below, a garden-level rental unit operates as its own world: two bedrooms, a full bathroom, separate entrance, in-unit washer/dryer, modern finishes, backyard access, and an open layout that tenants will not want to leave, and won't have to look far to find. Tucked onto one of Bed-Stuy's most picturesque, canopied blocks, 904 Lafayette puts you steps from the neighborhood's ever-evolving culinary and cultural scene, cafés, wine bars, local grocers, boutiques, with Herbert Von King Park, Kosciuszko Pool, and the J/M/G subway lines all within comfortable reach. In a market where comparable Bed-Stuy two-families are routinely trading hands north of $2.6M, 904 Lafayette represents something increasingly rare: a turnkey, move-in-ready 20’ wide brownstone priced with genuine conviction. The value is not hidden, it's the point. This is not a brownstone you settle for. It's one you seek out.
