Property Summary
Description
Introducing 652 ½ Lafayette Avenue, a captivating Bedford Stuyvesant townhouse that epitomizes the allure of Brooklyn living. This meticulously renovated home seamlessly blends classic charm with modern luxury, offering an unparalleled living experience. Upon arrival you'll be drawn to the elegant masonry façade; the intricate detailing and original brickwork that immediately convey a sense of timelessness, while the beautifully restored stoop invites you to step inside. Step through the front door, into a breadth of space encompassing living/dining and an open kitchen. The harmonious fusion of old-world character and contemporary design features high ceilings, a wood-burning fireplace, and abundant natural light, creating an inviting and airy living and dining space that flows into the bright and beautifully appointed kitchen. The kitchen is a true culinary masterpiece, boasting top-of-the-line appliances including a six-burner Wolf stove, Jennair integrated refrigerator, paneled dishwasher, and Summit wine fridge as well as a pot filler and hood that vents out. The sleek quartz countertops, a bar with additional pantry space, and custom cabinetry seamlessly combine form and function. This chef's haven offers a large island and it opens up onto a spacious deck, making it easy to dine al fresco. As you ascend the graceful staircase, the upper levels reveal a collection of private retreats. The primary suite is an oasis of serenity, complete with a sunlit bedroom, generous closets, and a spa-inspired ensuite bathroom with a deep-soaking tub. Two additional bedrooms and a full bath add to the convenience and comfort. This floor also has a beautiful staircase leading to roof access, with the potential for your creativity in how to use the space. Upon descending from the parlor, the basement level of the townhouse has been transformed into a versatile space that can serve as a family room, a home gym, or even a private office. This area offers the flexibility to adapt to your unique lifestyle needs. In between, there is a separate two-bedroom garden apartment, perfect for additional passive income or an in-law suite. Outside, an enchanting backyard sanctuary awaits. A paved patio area provides the perfect setting for dining and grilling, while raised garden beds offer space for cultivating your own green thumb. This outdoor retreat is a tranquil escape where you can unwind and recharge, surrounded by lush greenery. Nestled on a tree-lined, park-adjacent block of the historic Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood, it is moments away from Clinton Hill, making the best of both communities very convenient. Cross the street to enjoy Herbert Von King Park, or volunteer at the community garden located directly next door. Surrounding establishments like BKLYN Blend, Captain Dan’s Good Time Tavern, Do or DIve Bar, Macosa Trattoria, and so much more are within convenient distance, as is the Bedford-Nostrand G train. This townhouse offers not just a residence, but a lifestyle. Immerse yourself in a vibrant community known for its cultural richness and artistic flair.
