Property Description for 402 4th Ave, 3-R

Welcome to this blend of a pre-war loft in a thoroughly modern 1bd/1bth
home, in beautiful Park Slope/Gowanus. Thoughtfully renovated with every
organizational detail in mind.

Upon entering the beautiful modern kitchen welcomes and comforts
you. The earth tones of the warm blonde wood and soft white cabinets compliment
the stainless steel Liebherr Refrigerator and Bosch dishwasher. They are set
against a white ceramic tile backsplash that has the look of being handcrafted.
The Bosch gas stovetop and KitchenAid oven will inspire you to cook in the
comfort of this updated kitchen.
When it comes to entertaining there is plenty of room to roam the
open concept layout and you will always be part of the conversation due to the
seamless flow into the built-in dining nook and living room. The exposed brick
wall flowing through the entire space adds warmth and character.

Along the main living room wall you will find
built-in cabinets and shelves where it is easy to access your entertainment
needs. The oversized picture window that faces west and the ivy covered facade
it reveals, so no window treatments will be required, lets in reflected light
in the morning and direct sunlight in the afternoon. The new LG wireless A/C
unit has been properly installed and will remain making for a quiet,
comfortable and private central living space.

Along the hall is the spa-like bathroom. Surrounded by bamboo
lined-walls and bluestone slate floors with white fixtures, the sense of being
in the natural world continues. The soaking tub with a built-in shelf is ready
to help you wrap up your day with a glass of your favorite refresher. Next to
the bath down the hall is your own Bosch W/D and additional storage.

The bedroom overlooks 4th ave with newly added citi-quiet windows
which are unexpectedly and delightfully quiet. The windows face east and
morning sunlight fills the room. As the day comes to an end you can sit and
watch the city lights flicker on as the sunset colors reach across the sky.

This was once a 2 bed, now the 2nd bed has been
opened up to provide a wonderful office space expansive with built-in shelving
and a comfortable desk for all your work-from-home needs. The cherry-on-top of
the spacious king-size bedroom is the custom walk-in closet. With drawers,
shelves, hanging rods and shoe hooks, meeting your every organizational need.

402 4th avenue built in 1931 is an eight-unit self-managed
building. Well maintained and loved by its residents. The R, F & G trains are right at 9th street
stop just 2 stops south of Barclay/Atlantic where you will have access to
almost every train to get you where you need to go.

This home puts you around the corner from Whole Foods on 3rd ave
& 3rd st. And Four & Twenty Blackbirds delicious treats, Mighty Quinn's
BBQ on 4th, and a plethora of other spots close by. One block east
is bustling 5th avenue and you can travel the world with restaurants. If you

city, Prospect Park. With waterfalls and swimming ponds for the pups,
ducks and swans, hike behind the fence where the natural world has been allowed

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.
