The Chocolate Factory at 689 Myrtle Ave. 5A

689 Myrtle Ave Apt: 5A On a beautiful sunny day, at the top floor of a 5 story building – you’ll walk into a brightly lit cavernous studio. You’ll notice 13 foot ceilings – the exposed air ducts contrasts and sprinklers against the white ceiling giving the apartment a semi- industrial look and cool air during the hot summer days. The floor to ceiling column that provides a comforting sense of support and stability to the building. On your left is the silo-like walk-in closet with storage shelves which require you to crane your neck up to see it all because it reaches the ceiling! Next to the closet are stairs that lead up to the 1 bedroom sleeping loft which overlooks the bright, spacious living room with open views overlooking the neighborhood. The sleeping loft is in its original state and comes with two closets offering a modest amount of storage space. Beneath the sleeping loft is a storage area which the current tenant adapted into a cozy, private personal entertainment center. Because this is a condominium – owners of similar units have re-lofted this space to create 2 bedroom for additional space, comfort and value. This unit also offers a unique feature, this northeast corner apartment – the north stairwell also has large windows – owners may potentially access this natural light by adding windows to the north side of the apartment creating a corner apartment with double exposures! To the right of the entrance is the modest bathroom – honeycomb tiles with a luxurious jacuzzi bath connects to a boiler that seems to have an endless hot water supply. The boiler is in the washer/dryer hook up which is right next to the bathroom providing instant hot water access! The kitchen sports a goodly number of cabinets to accommodate the equipment of all aspiring chefs. The stainless steel appliances provide a great modern look to the sleek apartment, black granite counter tops nicely contrasts against the white. And finally, the expansive open space that allows the owner to establish their ideal comforts of home which is limited only by imagination. This building also features the first green roof http://www.brownstoner.com/brownstoner/archives/2010/05/green_roof_for.php in Brooklyn. The roof was recently renovated earlier this year – this roof will save you electricity in the summer by absorbing the heat, keeping the building at a lower temperature. In the winter the roof will be insulation keeping heat in the building, lowering your gas expenses. The G train to Myrtle-Willoughby is 2 and a half blocks away and buses surround the building to get you to the A, C, F, Q, N, R, 2, 3, 4 within 7 minutes. Walking distance of the post office, Associated Supermarket, Duane Reade, Home Depot, fresh fruit stands, restaurants and parking garages.
