The Eye in the Sky Pandemic or not, have the best view of all of Park Slope at this 10th floor luxury apartment. You can either have the best Zoom meeting background in the office or, when the time is right, entertain and show off this breathtaking view and open living by having immaculate cocktail hours and dinner parties with double floor to ceiling doors spanning the kitchen, dining room, and living room in one endless panoramic of glass looking over all of Park Slope and Prospect Park. There are currently a few other units in the building available, all of which are amazing, but none has the absolute indulgence of space and luxury of this particular unit with TONS of space for any furniture combinations you can dream up. Forget measuring for the one couch or dining room table that squeezes into the space. In 10E you have an abundance of space that seamlessly offers up a multitude of combinations. Many of the neighbors agree that the E line is the best layout in the building. Check out the floorplans to see how it offers two bathrooms in a smart, efficient manner that puts most of the square footage into the huge Great Room. Add in what the seller’s built including bountiful California closet space and luxuriant built-in bookshelves/media space and you have an incredible space that most residents in NYC dream about, let alone afford at this amazing price. Your new home has an extra-wide, light-filled, open concept living and dining room that is flooded with sunlight during the day and offers beautiful sunsets in the evening. The double glass French doors open to your large personal balcony to enjoy a quiet morning coffee before the hustle and bustle or to recline after a long day with your favorite glass of wine. The well-designed chef's open kitchen features a massive honed Calacatta marble island for cooking and entertaining, with room for four bar stools. It’s stocked with a full Viking appliance package, a built-in wine fridge, custom cabinetry, and a muted glass backsplash. Your living space is also upgraded with a custom, built-in floor-to-ceiling bookshelves/media wall, modern ceiling fans, updated light fixtures, and energy-efficient LED lighting throughout. This condo’s unique layout offers maximum flow and privacy as the two spacious bedrooms are separated by the expansive living space. The master bedroom offers a walk-in custom closet, built-in floating storage spaces, and a spa-like, en-suite bathroom with Gaudi marble floors, limestone walls and glass mosaic, Toto toilet, and a glass enclosed shower. On the other end of the home, a generously-sized second bedroom offers its own ample, custom closet and a second full bathroom with warm floor to ceiling tile finishes, a Zuma deep soaking bathtub, and a Toto Washlet electronic bidet toilet. Other features include white oak flooring throughout, central A/C and heat, and a separate large utility closet with a Bosch washer/dryer. Park Slope doesn’t offer too many luxury, white-glove condo units and 500 4th Avenue is one of them. The building makes for easy living with a 24-hr doorman, full-time super, an onsite-attended garage, a full fitness center (including weights, ellipticals, treadmills, rowing, and Peloton), children’s playroom, residence lounge/ game room (including billiards and a kitchenette), and a lovely 2500 SF landscaped and furnished common outdoor terrace. To top it off, you have low monthlies and a tax abatement until June 2026. All this and you are only two blocks from the F/G/R train lines for a quick ride into Manhattan, Prospect Park, Whole Foods and all of Gowanus and Park Slope’s superb dining and shopping options.

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.
