The Ex-Lax Building
423 Atlantic Avenue, #3NP

Indulge your love of authentic loft spaces in this 1854 SF home that has all the style and substance of a triple mint renovated Soho loft, but is situated in one of Brownstone’s Brooklyn’s coziest neighborhoods, Boerum Hill. Enjoy every subway at your doorstep, in addition to the best restaurants, amenities, and cultural offerings that Brooklyn has to offer (including BAM and Barclay’s Center). The quality of this home needs to be seen in person to be believed!

Enjoy the great bistros, cafes and cocktail bars in Boerum Hill, Cobble Hill, and Fort Greene, in addition to the daily delights of Fort Greene Park and Brooklyn Bridge Park. Renovated just a few years ago, this space retains all of the character of the past, with incredible modern upgrades usually only available in the white boxes of new construction. Live in an elevator building with redone common spaces, a freight elevator, a live-in super, and a shared roofdeck with panoramic views of the Brooklyn skyline.

The apartment itself is magnificent with soaring ceilings over 12’ high, TRIPLE-GLAZED windows, walls of white-washed red brick, exposed steel and timber columns, 12" wide heart pine floors, floating walls, and 7 floor-to-ceiling windows just in the living room!

This apartment is so quiet that you can hear a pin drop, and also offers South-facing windows with skyline views and incredible sunlight from dawn to dusk. Enjoy a Daikin central heating AND cooling system, in addition to the already existent gas hot-water system (covered in your common charges). Currently configured with 2 beds and 2 baths, this home is so large that a 3rd bedroom can easily be added without disturbing any of the drama of the current living space.

Custom designed to be spacious, and yet discrete, the kitchen offers deep drawers and wall cabinets for storage, a countertop created of burnished steel, and a suite of Gaggenau paneled appliances, perfect for the professional chef and amateur alike.

The jaw-dropping living space is not interrupted by the practicalities of the kitchen because it has been cleverly built-in with custom flat-front panels that disappear when not in use, and yet it is extremely accessible when you are ready to entertain. A 5-burner cooktop stands as the centerpiece with a hidden retractable fan, in addition to a deep sink. The piece de resistance is an inset bar above the countertop complete with custom lighting and steel shelving.

The fridge, dishwasher, and extra pantry space has all been hidden cleverly behind white panels adjacent to the counter space. Indulge your love of entertaining with more than enough space for an oversized dining table. Head to the other side of the apartment where two spacious bedrooms await, including one with massive glass and steel doors that double as sculpture when open.

The primary bathroom is the ultimate study of rich minimalism and includes hand-troweled waterproof plaster walls in taupe and black, a poured concrete (and heated) floor, a double shower behind custom wood panels, a freestanding tub, and timeless Duravit fixtures. Hidden storage behind custom wood doors is generous and even includes a linen closet. The secondary full bath is equally special with a lighter-colored plaster, poured concrete floors, and a generous shower.


Incredible storage awaits throughout the apartment, from the formal front hallway closets; to a large laundry and utility room; and not-to-be-missed spacious and clever pullout closets perfect for a fashionista. You will have a place to put away everything you own, in addition to living in a truly one-of-kind space with light for days, and a living space that far exceeds anything else on the market. The building itself is a pet-friendly, well-established and creative co-op where no two apartments are alike.

Pay substantially less than the neighboring condos to live in a hand-crafted, and awe-inspiring space, with a high-quality renovation unlike anything you have ever seen before.
