Property Description for 689 Myrtle Ave, 1-D

Finally, the Brooklyn loft you’ve been waiting for! Welcome home to unit #1D at 689 Myrtle Avenue, a stunning, sun-filled 982 square-foot 1-bedroom loft with soaring 17 foot high ceilings. Originally built in 1947 to support machinery used to produce Chocoline chocolate products, The Chocolate Factory was then converted to 45 Condos in 2003 and represents the classic tradition of the NYC Loft, characterized by open space, high ceilings, beefy walls, and large windows. The new cargo-sized elevator, dramatic high ceilings, wide hallways, exposed industrial-style HVAC ductwork, and ominous concrete columns create a raw and energetic feel. This one-of-a-kind airy home is flooded with natural light through its oversized eastern wall of windows and functions as a perfect live/workspace for artists and photographers or anyone who loves the loft lifestyle. The apartment features a sprawling living and dining room, gorgeous open-sky views, hardwood floors, iron spiral staircase that leads to the full height lofted king bedroom, an open kitchen with stainless steel appliances, including granite countertops, microwave, dishwasher, and ample shaker style cabinets. The bathroom features an over-sized six-foot by three-foot whirlpool tub with five jets. Apartment upgrades include Nest thermostat, designer ceiling fan, Samsung stackable washer/dryer, and hanging bike rack. A must-see apartment. Find your Zen in over 10,000 square feet of common green roof space, an oasis gorgeously landscaped with evergreen plants and fantastic panoramic views of Manhattan and Brooklyn including the Freedom Tower all wrapped around a one-a- kind private glass-enclosed fitness center with spectacular NYC views. Wired with TV, cable phone, and video intercom to the building's entrance, you'll never miss a package. With the G train at Myrtle-Willoughby only 2 and a half blocks away, Citibikes 1 block away and many bus routes nearby, 689 Myrtle Avenue is a convenient location at the crossroads of Bedford-Stuyvesant and Clinton Hill. Close to amazing neighborhood restaurants, bars, and coffee shops, we welcome you to make this very special unit your new home! Sellers paying one year worth of common charges for buyers.

Quick Profile

Known for its historic brownstones and tight-knit enclave, Bed-Stuy has increasingly left behind its early reputation for being a “bedroom community” and transcended into a highly desirable neighborhood. 

Distinct for its aesthetic, it is populated with ornate buildings characterized by cornices, friezes, finials, fluting and other marks of classic architecture. Built up during the period from 1870 to 1900, its historic district runs to the north of Jefferson Avenue, to the east of Malcolm X Boulevard and to the west of Tompkins Avenue. 

At one point known as “Brooklyn’s Little Harlem,” the shape of the area has shifted toward attracting a wider demographic of people thanks to the influx of bars, restaurants, antique furniture stores and vintage boutiques. More police enforcement paired with the decline of the crack epidemic at the beginning of the 2000s also opened the door for increased development, as well as the occupation of formerly abandoned buildings and spaces.
