    Unit 3 is a bright and sprawling 3BR/2BA condo duplex perched atop a beautiful pre-war building in central Fort Greene. Upon entrance, a skylight illuminates the open kitchen that features an abundance of storage and countertop space. The southern-facing living and dining area is centered around a cozy gas fireplace. Perfect for entertaining and relaxing, the space can also easily accommodate a work-from-home setup. The queen-sized bedrooms at the rear of this level are north-facing, quiet, and enjoy views of the trees from the nearby park. Up one floor, the primary suite encompasses the entire level and enjoys floor-to-ceiling windows, a walk-in closet, en-suite bathroom with Grohe rain shower, and, best of all, a private southern-facing terrace. 87 Lafayette Avenue is a handsome brick building that was erected in 1901 and converted to a boutique condominium in the '00's. The building is comprised of just three residential units and, albeit low common charges, is under the care of a management company. Pets and rentals are permitted, making for a wise investment opportunity. This building is ideal for the buyer seeking an authentic connection to Fort Greene. Reside within blocks of Brooklyn Academy of Music (BAM), Barclays Center, and top-tier dining options including Olea, Elsewhere, Aita, Saraghina Caffe, and Walter's. 87 Lafayette Avenue is positioned to provide an extraordinary quality of life in a neighborhood that is endowed with some of the finest architectural and cultural heritage in NYC. For shopping, Whole Foods and Trader Joe's are nearby, along with a spectacular farmers' greenmarket that is open year-round in nearby Fort Greene Park. The G train at Fulton Street is located across the street, and the C train at Lafayette Avenue is only one block to the south. Atlantic Terminal is 5 minutes away and provides access to the 2/3, 4/5, B/Q, N/R, and D trains, as well as the LIRR.
