Property Description for 500 4th Ave, 9-B

If you have been waiting for a truly dramatic and spacious home with unrivaled views and outdoor space, look no further than unit 9B at 500 4th Avenue. This home is an exclusive one-of-a-kind layout for the building that is unmatched on its combination of protected and private outdoor space, panoramic views of Manhattan, Brooklyn, the skyline, and many NYC landmarks. Perched high atop the building with Northwest exposures, you will have a front row seat to the best views in town, amazing privacy (no one looking into your windows) and an enormous and protected private terrace (over 220 sq. ft.!) so you can enjoy it from both inside AND outside. This special terrace is large enough for full-scale entertaining and BBQ’ing, so plan a 4th of July party, or just don your gardener’s gloves and get to work on creating a show-stopping garden in the sky. The private corner location protects you from the elements while never obscuring your view. The interior of this spectacular home is different than the building’s typical 2 bed, 2 bath home as it includes a larger kitchen and balcony doors leading to the massive terrace. And the real show-stopper is a windowed master suite with a deep soaking bathtub with views for miles and a bedroom window from which you can enjoy the privacy of your own landscaped terrace. Enjoy a private soak and a view after a hard day at work! It has been wonderfully maintained and it affords a dining area and a spacious living room from which to enjoy the views, plus two sizable bedrooms both large enough for king-sized beds. Don’t miss the plethora of closets and your very own washer and dryer too. A surprisingly spacious and well-designed kitchen offers up an enormous eating and prep island, as well as a Viking appliance package, Carrara marble countertops, and custom gray cabinetry. Custom upgrades include Nelson and Restoration Hardware lighting! Spa-like bathrooms have been designed with Gaudi marble flooring, limestone walls accented with glass mosaic, and an en-suite master bath with a glass enclosed shower AND a windowed bathtub. 500 4th Avenue features an attended parking garage with monthly spaces for rent, 24 hr. doorman, and hotel-like amenities including a gym, playroom, a residents’ lounge, home theatre, and game room. This is a stunning building located with every convenience right outside your door, including the F/G/R trains a block away, the new Whole Foods, and an amazing array of world-class dining, shopping and amenities in every direction. A short jaunt up the hill takes you to Prospect Park as well. The reasonable common charges and tax abatement (in effect until 2025) make luxury finally affordable within an easy commuting distance into Manhattan, and no sacrifices required

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.
