Property Description for 423 Atlantic Ave, 3-J

We knew this one would go quickly. We have a signed contract.
Every apartment in the iconic Ex-Lax building has its own unique flare, and that has never been truer than apartment 3J. As you enter the apartment, what you first notice is the amazing light provided by a wall of south-facing regular and transom windows. The open kitchen is to your left featuring stainless steel countertops, a Viking range, a Bosch dishwasher and LG washer/dryer. For those who want a true loft experience, the spacious, open living area is front and center with 11-foot ceilings and ample space for entertaining in open living and dining areas.Maximizing the use of floor space, there is a mezzanine loft area accessed via a spiral staircase, perfect for working at home. Below the mezzanine loft, there is a shoji screen enclosed sleeping area.

Just outside the enclosed sleeping area is a Zen-inspired rock garden which extends along the bases of both walls in the main living area. You will be left with a sense of calm when inhabiting the space. The lighting is designed to complement the Zen setting with up lights embedded in the rock garden and, sconces hung just below ceiling height, to provide tranquil, diffuse light throughout.The bathroom is likewise calming - pebble stone flooring is complemented by a granite vanity top and natural stone vessel sink. A full shower and tub provides the option to wash or soak your cares away.Beyond its amazing aesthetics, the apartment is deeply practical as well with a large walk-in closet with shelving and hangers from floor to the very top of the 11 foot ceilings.

In addition to this fabulous apartment, you also have the amenities of life in the Ex-Lax building. A lovely roof deck with panoramic views of south Brooklyn extending all the way to the Verrazano Narrows, a large elevator (recently renovated), common laundry on the first floor, and a super live-in super. And of course, you are at the center of Boerum Hill, one of Brooklyn's neighborhood gems. A stone's throw from great shopping and terrific eateries.

Come see (by appointment) for yourself.

Boerum Hill | Brooklyn

Quick Profile

Boerum Hill is a tiny, quiet, primarily residential neighborhood in Brooklyn. There are broad tree-lined streets that are filled with elegant three and four-story brownstones and townhouses, mostly built between 1840 and 1870. There is a definite family vibe to the neighborhood, but young professionals are moving in, and with them are coming trendy bars to cater to their desire for some measure of nightlife, without having to linger in Manhattan. These new bars and restaurants are being sandwiched in amongst existing shops on both Atlantic Avenue and Smith Street, which are the main commercial areas in Boerum Hill. 

Boerum Hill offers a convenient location that is still able to maintain its small-neighborhood feel. Shopkeepers value their customers and remember their regulars. It continues to do what it was designed to do, namely provide small-town living in the very shadow of the big city. Boerum Hill is an easy commute to other parts of the city, making it easy to come home every day to the peace and tranquility of Boerum Hill while commuting to a job anywhere in the city.

The neighborhood is quite walkable and you can take the time to catch up with your neighbors while visiting on their stoops. Shopping on Atlantic Avenue is stress-free with no high pressure. You can meet with friends at any of the many coffee shops and while away pleasant hours in conversation. The dining scene on Smith Street is similarly laid-back. Don’t expect that there will be quite as much to see or do as there is in Manhattan, but there are a decent number of interesting bars and restaurants providing a measure of nightlife. The trade-off is worth it, as Boerum Hill provides a quiet, peaceful place to live and raise a family.
