Property Description for 689 Myrtle Ave, 1-C

Owned by a juggler and an aerialist, the circus really is in town in this unique and wonderfully imagined 1222 square foot loft. Step this way into their version of the Big Top with 17' ceilings and light streaming in through a breathtaking wall of windows. On ground level, there's a newly renovated bathroom and a brand-new washer dryer, huge hallway closet, a kitchen with a granite peninsula and an expansive living/dining room with new floors!!! There's plenty of space at this level to create another bedroom.

Ascend the spiral staircase to a full-ceiling-height bedroom with a custom walk-in closet. With walls this huge, who wouldn't want a projection TV? This loft comes with custom 10% light diffusing as well as complete black out blinds, so movie night parties are a cinch. An assembly used for aerialist silks is now holding a fun egg chair. The loft is at ground level, yet privacy is guaranteed since the space cannot be viewed from the street. You can gaze at the heavens, but passers by cannot see in making it perfect for a rehearsal space, photo studio or any creative pursuit imaginable.

The Chocolate Factory was built in 1947 and converted to condos in 2003 introducing Brooklyn's first green roof-a unique 5000 sq. ft. tranquil garden space with panoramic views of Manhattan and Brooklyn plus a rooftop atrium gym, giving you everything you need right at home. The building's large capacity elevator makes for effortless moving in, visiting the roof deck or storing your bike in the bike room. There's 24/7 video security and high-speed Verizon Fios internet included in the building's common charges. Wifi is also available to all residents on the roof if you prefer to work outside. The building just completed a facade renovation which will last for years to come.

Right on the border of Bed Stuy and Clinton Hill, the bar and restaurant options abound. Pratt campus and the shops and cafes on Myrtle Avenue are a short distance away as is Herbert Von King Park and the Kosciuszko pool. Also conveniently located in the vicinity is Fort Greene Park, Wegmans and the Brooklyn Navy Yard. The G train is 2 blocks away. Bike lanes and CitiBike stations are also all at your door.
You came to New York to live in a loft! Come and get it!

Quick Profile

Known for its historic brownstones and tight-knit enclave, Bed-Stuy has increasingly left behind its early reputation for being a “bedroom community” and transcended into a highly desirable neighborhood. 

Distinct for its aesthetic, it is populated with ornate buildings characterized by cornices, friezes, finials, fluting and other marks of classic architecture. Built up during the period from 1870 to 1900, its historic district runs to the north of Jefferson Avenue, to the east of Malcolm X Boulevard and to the west of Tompkins Avenue. 

At one point known as “Brooklyn’s Little Harlem,” the shape of the area has shifted toward attracting a wider demographic of people thanks to the influx of bars, restaurants, antique furniture stores and vintage boutiques. More police enforcement paired with the decline of the crack epidemic at the beginning of the 2000s also opened the door for increased development, as well as the occupation of formerly abandoned buildings and spaces.
