Property Description for 500 4th Ave, 4-O
Exceptional 2 bedroom home with imagination and character now available at 500 Fourth! Too good to miss and too many details to list everything, make an appointment to see this very unique home today!
The homeowner is an award-winning artist who carefully designed this incomparable home to marry modern conveniences with exquisite attention to detail including over $50,000 in custom enhancements and upgrades. Highlights include a full room hand-painted mural in the second bedroom, new white oak wide plank floors by Khars throughout the home and high-end lighting in all rooms.
Upon entering this special home your eye is immediately drawn to the extra high nearly 10ft ceilings and floor to ceiling wall of glass framing the rejuvenating green treetop and blue sky sunny views bringing the outside in through double doors opening to the balcony retreat with a custom cedarwood privacy planter.
Back inside, cooking becomes an art form in the home's chic open kitchen. Anchored by a beautifully honed Calacatta marble island with Thomas O'Brien for Circa Pendant Lights, a counter level bar to comfortably sit several people, it boasts stainless steel Viking appliances, a built in wine cooler and custom built in feature wall shelving, all flowing beautifully to the ample dining area. The living area is wide and airy, illuminated by a dramatic Kelly Wearstler Chandelier for Visual Comfort.
The dreamy king-sized master bedroom has plenty of space to comfortably include a home office with views of lower Manhattan, and is bathed in easy lighting when the sun goes down from a Vintage Italian Tole Chandelier. Pass-through extra deep double closets to the en suite bath clad in warm limestone and marble that includes a double vanity, a glass enclosed shower with a custom teak floor and a separate soaking tub.
On the opposite side of the home is the second bedroom, a destination of its own featuring a hand painted a full-room woodland mural that is absolutely stunning. Although designed for a child's room, this unique masterpiece would also make a phenomenal back drop for any home office and is sure to liven up those long zoom meetings! The second bedroom is comparable in size to the master allowing for multiple uses of the space and includes an extra deep closet.
Finishing out the floorplan is a second bright and clean full bath with marble tile detailing plus another deep soaking tub, a utility closet that includes a new Bosch washer and dryer, custom solar shades, central AC and custom closet storage systems throughout.
500 Fourth Avenue is one of the most coveted buildings in the area with hotel-style amenities including a 24-hour doorman; full time super and porter; attended on-site parking for lease; a large and well-appointed fitness center; sunny children's playroom; lounge w/ home-theater, kitchenette, and billiards all leading to a 2500+ SF landscaped common sundeck.

Gowanus | Brooklyn
Quick Profile
Gowanus is a colorful neighborhood with an industrial aesthetic, tree-lined streets, historic structures, as well as luxury condos and rental buildings. It has a great art scene, fantastic eateries and bars and a 1.8-mile canal that snakes through most of the neighborhood. The variety of elements make it a desirable place to live.
The neighborhood is on the crest of a major change due to a recently passed rezoning plan that will allow more residential construction. Especially around the Gowanus Canal where construction was once prohibited. The plan will bring new jobs, affordable housing, and create a neighborhood with walkable green spaces and amenities. It’s safe to say that change is coming to Gowanus.
Gowanus is bounded by Hoyt Street to the west, 4th Avenue to the east, Warren Street, Baltic Street and Wycoff Street to the north, and Gowanus Expressway to the south.
The neighborhood is named after Gouwane, a chief in the Canarsie Indian tribe. His name, according to the history books, translates to “the sleeper.” Other historic accounts say that the Gowanus name comes from the Dutch word gouwee, which translates to the word bay. Based on early New York History surrounding Dutch settlers and native tribes, both accounts seem plausible.
Gowanus began development as far back as the 1630s when the Dutch arrived. They began building farms and soon realized the marshy lands they settled were not the best for growing crops and farming. They began damming up certain areas of the land with hopes of creating better soil and powering their windmills. This was the beginning of the formation of the Gowanus canal.
The natural estuary was once brimming with oysters and fish. But in the 1800s, the canal was turned into an industrial and transportation waterway. In the mid 1900’s, industrial factories like manufactured gas plants, paper mills, and other businesses opened along the canal and casually polluted the water. It’s cleanup efforts have come a long way but there is still much work to be done.
The newly approved Gowanus rezoning plan has caused lots of buzz this year. Mayor Bill DeBlasio's plan will rezone 82 blocks which will pave the way for an estimated 8,500 new apartments, 3,000 of which would be offered to low and moderate-income New Yorkers. The plan includes major improvements to the local infrastructure. Although the rezoning plan might not create a housing boom today or tomorrow, proponents say the rezoning sets the stage for major growth in Gowanus in the decades to come.
The F, G, D, N, R, and W subway lines service the Gowanus neighborhood.
