Adding to Bushwick's relatively small inventory of new condos is 1143 Lafayette Avenue, a 10-unit boutique building located three blocks away from the J/M/Z trains at Kosciuszko Street. The new brick and steel structure stands four stories with a penthouse atop and features one- to three-bedroom residences. Two spacious listings arrived on the market just three days ago: a one-bedroom/one-bath apartment for $575K
and a two-bedroom/two-bath penthouse duplex for $1.199M.
Residents will have access to the common outdoor space – a ground floor garden and a roof deck – along with the building's bike storage. And if you're buying the penthouse, you can expect some extra perks like 1,184 square feet of living space, double-height ceilings, a 75-square-foot private storage closet in the basement, and a 306-square-foot private roof terrace with Manhattan views.
All the apartments boast floor-to-ceiling windows allowing for plenty of natural light to come in, a chef's kitchen with high-end stainless steel appliances, custom wood cabinetry, and an island with bar stool seating for three. The stylish bathrooms feature a deep soaking tub and a custom vanity.
Since 2016, only a handful of condominiums have been built in rapidly-changing Bushwick (developers typically opt for rentals), including the boutique residences at 894 Willoughby Avenue, 1257 Dekalb Avenue, and the 32-unit 1255 Bushwick Avenue. One-bedrooms apartments in the neighborhood have a median price of $695K and two-bedrooms have a median price of $830K. These "low" prices won't likely last long.
