Bed-Stuy's 689 Myrtle Avenue gets its alias, the Chocolate Factory, from its previous incarnation. For 70 years, the Cocoline Chocolate Company manufactured its product in the Bedford-Stuyvesant building and served as a wholesaler for Nestle and Nabisco, among others. The building was sold in 2002 and converted to condominiums with loft layouts.
With the wave of investment pushing through Clinton Hill and Bed-Stuy, closing prices have more than doubled since the first sales in 2003. The sole condo available in the building is a one-bedroom one-bath, on the market for $1.085 million. Its features include a private patio, alcove/home office on an elevated platform, wall of west-facing windows, two walk-in closets, 17-foot ceilings, wide plank hardwood floors, and central heat and air conditioning. Verizon Fios is included in the common charges.

The oversized open kitchen is accessorized with an 8-foot island/breakfast bar, stainless steel appliances, under-cabinet accent lighting, and plenty of cabinet storage. The living room has a built-in entertainment center with cabinets and shelving. The bathroom was recently remodeled with classic white subway tiles, mosaic tile floors, new vanity, and Jacuzzi tub.
The pet-friendly building has a landscaped green roof deck and a gym/recreation room with 360-degree views of the Brooklyn and Manhattan skylines. It is conveniently located near Pratt Institute, Brooklyn Navy Yard, Marcy Playground, and several of the neighborhood’s most popular bars and restaurants.
