The large windows draw in bright ambient light from the front to the sun struck south facing back of the house with a large backyard. 908 Lafayette is move in ready with all the modern features and appliances one can ask for.
The owners duplex opens starts at the parlor floor that opens up to a large gallery encompassing the open and airy living space that spreads down to both the dinning and kitchen area. The kitchen has purposefully been left open to give you the option to entertain in mass, but perfectly suitable to build out a lovely island for a variety of social gatherings. Appliances have been carefully selected and to the highest regards. You have a Fisher and Paykel double-door refrigerator, Bosch gas stove, dishwasher and microwave, and a large format five burner range. A full wrap around counter will give you the ability to prepare meals for weeks. The backyard is fully accessible from your kitchen making barbecues an easy feat as you prepare.
On the upper floor you have the master bedroom with an en-suite bathroom with southern views and sunlight. On the same floor you will also have a shared full bathroom and two additional bedrooms with ample closet space.
The lower is a ground floor duplex with accessible cellar and private outdoor space. Great space for rental income or additional office space for the owner given that working from home is a current practice.
From being park side to Herbert Von King Park, Bedford-Stuyvesant offers many conveniences. Multiple transportation options are afforded with the G, J, Z, and M trains that brings you into Manhattan or Queens within 20 minutes. You also have a plethora of bus options as well. Some of our local favorites is Burly Coffee and Little Roy Coffee for your morning fix. Guacuco Bed-Stuy for Venezuelan fare and Samurai Papa for a night of ramen and Japanese bites.
