Description

The Brooklyn loft you’ve been waiting for is now available in the Chocolate Factory building. Flooded with light, the sprawling living and dining area with soaring 13 foot ceilings make this a perfect home for entertaining. The spacious master bedroom easily accommodates a king bed, dressers, and home office with space to spare.

Storage is maximized with a new upgrade to include a customized closet organization system. Below the master bedroom, there is a unique expansive space not included in the total square footage, which adds an additional 165sf for storage or additional sleeping space. The newly renovated open kitchen boasts a custom tile backdrop, soft close cabinet doors, and a stainless steel chef’s range hood to compliment the black granite countertops and stainless steel appliances.

The spa-like bathroom is outfitted with a jetted tub, rain shower head, custom black slate tile, and a brand new high-end bidet toilet. Additionally, there is a brand new in-unit LG washer/dryer, dishwasher, central heating and A/C. This massive loft has all the modern conveniences in an exceptional and unique space.

689 Myrtle Avenue is a spectacular loft condo conversion originally built as a chocolate factory in 1947.

The building was the first in Brooklyn to have a green roof - a serene outdoor space gorgeously landscaped with native plants and 360 degree views of Brooklyn and the Manhattan skyline. The one-of-a-kind roof deck wraps around a private glass-enclosed fitness center. Placed ideally in between Williamsburg, Bedford-Stuyvesant and Clinton Hill, this home is just a few minutes walk to the train.

Conveniently located next to Pratt, Fort Greene Park, and the Navy Yard (hello Wegmens!), the loft also has a grocery store across the street and a multitude of cool cafes, coffee shops, and unique small businesses (Moloko, Tailfeather, Brooklyn Kolache, Swell Dive and Brewklyn to name a few) up and down Myrtle Avenue. Low common charges include Fios internet.
