Description

Welcome home to this spectacular modern loft flooded with light at The Chocolate Factory Condominium. The unique open layout of unit 2A boasts 13-foot ceilings with oversized casement windows filling the apartment with beautiful eastern light and open skies. The grand living area in this move-in ready loft is spacious yet cozy and perfect for entertaining.

A custom built-in banquette opens up to a large dining area.

The renovated chef’s kitchen features granite counter tops, stainless steel appliances, dishwasher, and custom white subway tiles. The lofted bedroom area has 8-foot ceilings, two large closets and plenty of space for additional furniture.

The renovated bathroom is outfitted with classic white subway tile. Storage space is abundant with a massive walk-in-closet in the entryway and another storage area under the loft.

With your own in-unit washer/dryer and central heating and air conditioning, this loft has all of the modern conveniences while still offering an exceptional and unique space.

Low common charges and a 10-year tax abatement ending in 2022 make this unit an ideal investment.

689 Myrtle Avenue is a condo conversion with elevator built in 1947 as a Chocolate Factory. The building was the first in Brooklyn to have a green roof deck; a stunning outdoor space gorgeously landscaped with actual crickets and butterflies and 360 degree views of Manhattan and Brooklyn.

The one-a-kind roof deck also houses a stunning private glass enclosed fitness center. With the G train at Myrtle-Willoughby only 2 and a half blocks away, Citibike 3 blocks away and many bus routes nearby, 689 Myrtle Avenue is a convenient location at the crossroads of Bedford-Stuyvesant and Clinton Hill. Close to amazing neighborhood restaurants, bars, and coffee shops, we welcome you to make 689 Myrtle #2A your home.
