Co-op of the Day: 101 Lafayette Avenue, #1K
101 Lafayette Avenue aka The Griffin is Fort Greene’s grandest prewar apartment building. Built in 1931, the 17-story has 202 co-op apartments in it. Or, make that 203. A former ground-level office space has just been converted into a 1,475-square-foot two-bedroom apartment with a private terrace. The conversion looks straight-forward: Nothing fancy but nothing offensive…

The conversion looks straight-forward: Nothing fancy but nothing offensive either. If this were on a higher floor, the asking price of $825,000 would be looking pretty tasty. For a ground-floor space, though, not so sure. What do you think?

In case you were unaware, 4:54…sarcasm does not come across very well on anonymously blogged computer websites.
Man, there used to be cats hanging out in the crack house across the street from here, number 59 I think, they would stab you in the heart if you breathed in their direction.
It was some scary shit. I’m sure that building is now lux condos too. This neighborhood has undergone an incredible transformation. Hopefully there is some sort of check valve that will prevent everything from flowing backwards to 1992, because things are way better in the hood today bro.
$:26 – Ever heard of a little thing called sarcasm?
How can so many imbeciles live in this city?!
The entire building has a beautiful 8 foot high ironwork fence around it, so no need to worry about intruders, 4:24.
Having the doorman helps with safety as well.
Maybe you should move somewhere where you don’t need to be so fearful of crime.
Oh wait…this is the safest city in the u.s.
Guess you’re screwed!
How can so many pussies live in this city?!
“i think you could do some simple landscaping and make the terrace work”
Here’s how you landscape a three foot wide ground floor “terrace.” Bamboo. Sharpen some of them, of course, to keep out intruders.
I don’t know…I saw a pretty amazing brownstone condo in park slope for $900k (with back patio and yard…) and another 2 stories w/ basement for around that same price
sounds overpriced to me…
To think this is now considered a good block.
God bless!
I live on that block and love the building, but this unit left me empty. $100K less and I’d think about it because it’s in the back of the building and not facing the street, and it does have a fair amount of space. But the light is poor and there’s nothing too unique about the unit itself.
That said, if you want to be on a nice block in a good nabe, you could do worse. I just wouldn’t pay that much for it.
2:35…i TOTALLY agree.
i live on the ground floor right now and i LOVE it. granted it’s a rather quiet, tree-lined brownstone block.
running out the door is the best! i feel so connected to the streetlife, which afterall is the whole reason i live here rather than in the burbs.
