The Chocolate Factory at 689 Myrtle Ave. 2C

Imagine the plants you could grow if you had 140 square feet of windows and the morning sun beaming in to your quintessential New York loft apartment! Hone your green thumb in this sunny wide-open space. The Chocolate Factory was built in 1947 and converted to condos in 2003 introducing Brooklyn’s first green roof—a unique 5000 sq. ft. tranquil garden space with panoramic views of Manhattan and Brooklyn plus a rooftop atrium gym, giving you everything you need right at home. Maintaining incredible 13’ ceilings, magnificent pillars and industrial duct work this building truly epitomizes loft living.

This expansive open plan loft has ample room for designated lounging, dining and entertaining as well as space for a home office. In fact, there’s enough room to roller skate!! The open plan kitchen has plenty of cabinets and a granite counter top and bar that easily seats four. An incredible wall of custom shelving could accommodate even the biggest vinyl or book collection. A short flight of steps leads up to a queen sized bedroom with more custom shelving illuminated by a stylish light well, and is isolated from the main space by sliding glass doors. Underneath the bedroom is 100+ square feet of storage or flex space complete with Metro shelving. (The 80+ sq ft is in addition to the loft’s 862 sq ft) The spacious bathroom features an oversized jacuzzi tub to relax in at the end of the day and includes an in-unit washer and dryer making laundry a breeze. The entrance hallway has another oversized closet and a super functional nook for coats and shoes. The dramatic ceiling height has been put to good use with two ceiling mounted bike lifts.
There’s plenty of room in the loft for even the biggest furniture and the building’s large capacity elevator makes for effortless moving in, visiting the roof deck or storing your bike in the bike room. There’s 24/7 video security and high speed Verizon Fios internet included in the building’s low common charges. Wifi is also available to all residents on the roof if you prefer to work outside. The building just completed a facade renovation which will last for years to come.

Right on the border of Bed Stuy and Clinton Hill, the bar and restaurant options abound. Pratt campus and the shops and cafes on Myrtle Avenue are a short stroll away as is Herbert Von King Park and the Kosciuszko pool.
