423 Atlantic Ave, 2-E

Located in a historic converted factory, Apartment 2E is a highly unique and inventive space in Brooklyns Boerum Hill District. The spacious, airy and bright loft embraces the factory structure in which it is housed, impressing a trendy and charming quirk on its inhabitants.

After taking in the striking views of the modern space, one is welcomed warmly into the kitchen, which boasts a large column acting as both a structural anchor and major focal point. Featuring generous floor-to-ceiling storage, stainless steel countertops and lustrous white cabinetry, it keeps in step with the factory feel, maintaining a chic aesthetic and functional heir. In addition to a large refrigerator, dishwasher and wide sink, it also features a fantastic in-island wine cabinet, sealed for optimal longevity. A large L-shaped table was also custom-designed for the space. Built around the column, its multifunctionality enables the homeowner space for cooking, dining, decorating, or entertaining guests while preparing delicious meals.

Beyond the kitchen lies the crown jewel of the home, the magnetic living/dining space, complete with boastful windows that flood the entire unit with natural light. A quick favorite of both visitor and resident will be the lofty shelving units, placed across from one another and designed with New Yorkers in mind. Due to their varied positions and sizes, the shelves can be used for plants, records, decorations, liquor, frames, books, candles, entertainment systems, and even toys. Due to its wide open dimensions and high-ceiling (complete with a fan), this space provides a plethora of options for furniture placement that can be easily changed at the homeowners every whim.

After passing through this space, as well as a wood-paneled foyer-like area, one makes their way to the Primary Suite. Also high-ceilinged, it features a wide closet with sliding doors, reflective white tile in the Primary Bath, and an additional linen closet so subtle that one would think its part of the wall.

The unit also features a smaller central area with gorgeous cherry hardwood floors and steps. This antechamber is home to an additional closet, and is perfect for a futon, additional private seating, or even a small bed. In congruence with the open theme, the staircase landing also features a hinged window that looks out to the rest of the apartment. From here, one ascends to the loft.

If the living room is the heart of 2E, the loft is the soul. Reflecting Brooklyns artsy nature, this practically Bohemian space provides a homey and cozy atmosphere. Natural light is welcomed into the loft through a glass window overlooking the Primary Suite, the stair window, and the doorway of the antechamber below. Additionally, a ceiling fan with lamp also illuminates the space. The loft and unit are quite literally topped off by a unique nook, perfect for reading, television, meditation, storage, or more toys.

Built in 1920 and converted into a Co-Op in 1981, 432 Atlantic Ave features a full-time porter, in-house super, and rooftop access with fantastic views. Its also pet-friendly and has elevators. Located in the exciting Boerum Hill neighborhood, the building is in a prime location.

Anyone who chooses 2E will have selected an exquisite unit, in a fantastic building, in a thriving neighborhood, in the greatest city in the world.
