734 Lafayette Avenue
Description
Enter up your broad bluestone-topped stoop and into your very own foyer/mudroom with a spacious coat closet (too often left out of open plan layouts). Inside...Bright, cheerful, thoughtfully laid-out with unusually high ceilings, 734 Lafayette lies half a black from Von King Park. The largest park in Bed-Stuy, Von King Park is home to the newly renovated Von King Cultural Center which hosts classes and events for kids and adults alike. The park also boasts a popular playground and a large dog run.
Enter up your broad bluestone-topped stoop and into your very own foyer/mudroom with a spacious coat closet (too often left out of open plan layouts). Inside there's an airy living/dining/kitchen space with a lovely powder room and extra storage tucked under the stairs. Facing south, the kitchen windows let in lots of sunshine and look out on your large deck and spacious, lovingly maintained backyard. The magnolia tree is super special and help keep things private.
Upstairs there are three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and laundry--all with fabulously high ceilings. The cellar is finished and used as a home office and storage area by the current owners; they have a private entrance from the garden as well as access under the stoop.
The garden level unit has a market rate tenant in place with a lease through October 2023.
Many updates have been made throughout the house. There is central air with zones on each floor, extra waterproofing that was done to keep the cellar nice and dry, and special touches throughout the home. Ask me about parking!
