Co-op of the Day: 101 Lafayette Avenue, #5FG
Wow, this has to be the nicest apartment at The Griffin we’ve ever seen! The fifth-floor, two-bedroom at 101 Lafayette Avenue in Fort Greene just hit the market asking $699,000. The co-op has the nice prewar bones you would expect plus some tasteful modern touches (love that kitchen!). Think it’ll get snapped up fast? 101…

what can be said that hasnt been already…. its horrible.
The kitchen cabinets are about as interesting as a piece of chaulk, and lack personality, where are the upper cabinets, one would like to know…..
I designed an apartment inManhattan where you enter in the expanded kitchen area. it’s really quite convenient actually.
This place will sell…large bedroom, 2 full baths with one ensuite, design is great with the windows (though very energy inefficient) and the kitchen is spectacular.
This is not a new listing. Been around a long time…it is not nice. you walk into the kitchen..bleh. it’s choppy…bleh. little living room bleh. IMHO no more then 554K. two units combined….weird layout sorry
It’s a very nice looking kitchen but….
When you have a galley kitchen and space is at a premium, upper cabs are an absolute must. Here, one whole set of cabs are useless (underneath the stove top) which leaves pretty much no room for storage of plates, cups, FOOD. Aethestically pleasing, but practical–NO.
At $550K it starts to look interesting. I like the location and the building, and for that amount of space the layout works fine — kitchen could be worse, there’s no giant island taking up half the living room, after all.
There’s a $700K 1200 square foot ground floor of a mansion on Clinton Ave though that seems like a much better deal for that kind of money.
“Should be a good-sized one bedroom with a dining room.” (dylanfan)
Yeah, I kind of agree. But for people who truly need a second bedroom, they’d be paying even more for this amount of space with a better layout.
First listed last January for 739K and reduced to 699K before being pulled from the market. Just re-listed at 699K.
Should be a good-sized one bedroom with a dining room for about 550K.
I do love that building too.
It sucks that the entrance is right into the kitchen. The so-called 2nd bedroom is crazy narrow (like a brownstone single-windower) and has no closet. Nice building and apartment but 700 grand has to do better than that!
***Bid half off peak comps***
Well, I don’t love walking into a kitchen either, but, just for the record, that IS how my apt is now, an NO ONE has ever commented on it. I guess my friends are either too lowly to know the difference, or too polite to say anything.
Yes, the combination of two apts. eliminates some of the grandeur/good layout of a great pre-war apt. Would not say that this place is nearly as overpriced as some are saying, though.
