Fall in love with #1I at The Chocolate Factory in prime Bedford Stuyvesant bordering Clinton Hill, just moments away from the Myrtle-Willoughby Ave G train stop and south of the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway, for quick access to Queens, Manhattan, Dumbo, Williamsburg and all of Long Island. This unique 1,576sf condo with towering 17' ceilings throughout is currently configured as a loft with home office and two walk-in-closets with the possibility of adding a second bath.

The bathroom was recently remodeled with classic white subway tiles, a full-size Jacuzzi bathtub, new vanity and beautiful mosaic tile floors. The private patio is next to the alcove/home office, which rests on an elevated platform featuring the same wide-plank hardwood floors used throughout the home, providing expansive storage space underneath. The living room features a custom built-in entertainment center with shelving and cabinets for even more storage options.
