143 Lafayette Avenue is a 21 unit pre war cooperative in Fort Greene whose buildings incorporate a row of Italianate townhouses dating to the 1860s. The property was converted to multiple dwelling use in the 1930s, with architect Horace B. Mann associated with its redesign. Brick façades, large casement windows, gated entrances, and landscaped front and rear gardens define the complex.
The building is a walk up with six connected buildings and a central garden courtyard. Each apartment has a private keyed storage room in the basement, while shared amenities include a bike room, laundry room, and resident garden with outdoor seating and barbecue grills. A dedicated porter and professional management are also noted, and pets are allowed with board approval.
Apartments commonly retain pre war details such as hardwood floors, decorative fireplaces, high ceilings, casement windows, skylights, and garden or leafy neighborhood exposures. Renovated kitchens and bathrooms appear alongside the original character, with layouts ranging from conventional one and two bedroom apartments to less typical arrangements. A top level apartment incorporates a sleeping loft, and a caretaker’s cottage in the rear garden is organized as a duplex with direct garden access.
Fort Greene Park is one block away, with running paths, tennis courts, playgrounds, the Prison Ship Martyrs Monument, and the Saturday Fort Greene Greenmarket. DeKalb Avenue, Fulton Street, and Myrtle Avenue supply restaurants, cafes, bars, shops, and specialty stores, while BAM, BRIC, Theatre for a New Audience, the Mark Morris Dance Center, Barclays Center, and Atlantic Terminal are all within the surrounding Fort Greene and Downtown Brooklyn area.

For some co-ops, instead of price per square foot, we use an estimate of the number of rooms for each sold apartment to chart price changes over time. This is because many co-op listings do not include square footage information, and this makes it challenging to calculate accurate square-foot averages.
By displaying the price per estimated room count, we are able to provide a more reliable and consistent metric for comparing sales in the building. While we hope that this gives you a clearer sense of price trends in the building, all data should be independently verified. All data provided are only estimates and should not be used to make any purchase or sale decision.
