Property Description for 500 4th Ave, 5-N

With plenty of natural light, ample storage, and generous amounts of versatile, open space, thoughtfully designed 5N has everything you need for easy, comfortable living. A split layout, private balcony with stunning city and water views, gorgeous apartment upgrades, and a plethora of building amenities add richness and luxury to your day-to-day experience.

Step into the open-plan primary living area, extensive enough for a dedicated living/family room, dining area, and workspace. A full wall of floor-to-ceiling windows and French doors reveals lower Manhattans iconic skyline to one side; ports and bridges of New Jersey to the other; and in the center, the Statue of Liberty and the treetops, backyards, and changing seasons of brownstone Brooklyn combining to make the apartment feel infinitely large. The built-in media console combines seamlessly with a wall of smartly designed storage, several intimate display spaces, and a cozy and convenient window-facing workstation. Additional modular storage underneath the kitchen island can be added or removed to take advantage of breakfast bar seating, as desired.

The well-equipped chefs kitchen features Viking and Miele appliances; expansive, polished carrara gold marble countertops, a dedicated wine fridge that also makes for excellent dry goods or fragile food storage, and a cheery new backsplash. Copious cabinet space, and a newly-updated dishwasher ensure youll have everything you need.

Custom fitted retractable screen doors (nearly invisible when closed) open onto your private balcony, roomy enough for both a lounging sofa and a table for alfresco dining. With three unobstructed exposures, youll enjoy stunning sunrise and sunset views every day and fireworks from all sides throughout the summer.

The king-sized primary bedroom is fitted with custom top-down / bottom-up window treatments.
With both two closets and a full wall of custom, built-in cabinetry by Roberto Gil Design, you will never want for more storage space.

The spa-like, recently remodeled, en-suite bathroom sets this unit apart from others in the building. It features hand-selected, hexagonal marble and basalt tiles; a deep, soaking Kohler Tea for Two bathtub with retractable spigot; separate shower with frameless glass doors, and a double sink vanity with custom Glassos Crystallized Glass countertop and plenty of storage.

The second bedroom, technically even larger than the primary, is equally inviting and versatile.

The second full bath is also full-sized, featuring limestone and marble tile, an extra-deep Zuma soaking tub / shower combination, and a brand-new walnut vanity.

Central heating and air conditioning and a recently updated in-unit Miele stacked washer and dryer complete this homes convenience.

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.
