Description
Welcome to 578 Lafayette Avenue - a fully renovated, sun-drenched four-story townhouse offering 4,000 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space. Configured as a spacious owner's triplex plus a separate lower-level duplex, this five-bedroom, four full and two half-bath residence offers both exceptional lifestyle and income potential.
Perfectly positioned on the border of Clinton Hill and Bedford-Stuyvesant, this turnkey property combines modern design with a flexible layout, complete with a beautifully landscaped private backyard.
Enter through a private tiled vestibule into a dramatic great room defined by soaring 24-foot ceilings and a wall of oversized windows that flood the space with natural light. The open-concept living and dining area is anchored by a striking layered wood feature wall with custom built-in shelving, creating a warm yet contemporary focal point.
Designed for both everyday living and entertaining, the main level flows seamlessly into a chef's kitchen outfitted with premium Bosch stainless steel appliances, including a dishwasher and wine fridge. A substantial 12' x 8' waterfall marble island with integrated 5-burner gas cooktop provides generous prep space and seating. Custom Italian cabinetry, a full pantry, and a sunlit window seat overlooking the garden complete the space.
Just beyond, a south-facing deck leads to a private 700-square-foot landscaped garden oasis, featuring a gas hookup for grilling and raised planting beds for urban gardening.
A sculptural, Australian steel and wood staircase with glass railings leads to a lofted second living area, ideal as a den, office, or TV room. This level also includes a bright, oversized south-facing en-suite bedroom and a dedicated laundry room with additional storage.
The upper level offers three additional bedrooms, including two generously sized rooms with custom closets, sharing a beautifully finished full bathroom with tile and river rock detailing. A third bedroom is currently configured as a home office with a skylight that brings natural light in all day long.The primary suite on this level is a true retreat, featuring vaulted ceilings, oversized windows with skyline views, and ample space for both a king-sized bed and seating or workspace. The suite includes two walk-in closets and a bathroom with a rain shower.
Completely rebuilt from the ground up in 2015 and further enhanced with extensive floor-to-ceiling renovations completed earlier this year, the home offers a seamless blend of modern construction and refined finishes. Thoughtfully equipped with multi-zone HVAC and smart thermostats, updated electrical and plumbing, energy-efficient windows, and polished bamboo flooring throughout.
The lower-level duplex offers a well-designed one-bedroom, one-and-a-half-bath layout with an open kitchen, generous storage, and a flexible bonus room suitable for a home office, studio, or gym.
