Contrary to what some parts of Brooklyn would have people believe, the borough is not about to be overtaken by a new crop of glassy skyscrapers with super-slick condos priced equally high in the stratosphere. Proof of that can be found at 734 5th Avenue, a boutique condominium in South Slope-Greenwood Heights that recently launched sales. The Modernist-inspired building holds five floors of one-bedroom, one-bath homes starting at $645K.
Kitchen
All apartments feature open layouts, oversized custom double-paned windows, beamed ceilings, recessed lighting, washer/dryer closets, and white oak flooring. Designer kitchens incorporate large islands, custom cabinetry, quartz countertops, Kohler fixtures, and KitchenAid and Bosch appliances. Bright baths have custom millwork and vanity tops, Italian wall tiles, and Kohler fixtures. Sixteen of the 20 units come with private outdoor space.
Roof deck
734 5th Avenue welcomes pets and offers central air conditioning, a virtual doorman, and package reception system. The six-story building is topped with a shared roof terrace looking out on Green-Wood Cemetery, New York Harbor, the Statue of Liberty, and the Manhattan skyline.
The building’s neighborhood derives its name from Green-Wood Cemetery, a working cemetery and vast green space open to the public and only half a block away. Surrounding streets are home to popular local restaurants and bars. The nearby 25th Street D/N/R/W subway stop allows for a seamless commute into Manhattan or elsewhere in Brooklyn.
The abundant green space gives the neighborhood a peaceful atmosphere, but it’s becoming ever more bustling. Sales launched at the amenity-rich Arbor Eighteen earlier this winter, and remaining availabilities start at $540K. Only one listing, a three-bedroom penthouse for $1.725 million, remains on the market a few blocks away at the tax-abated Fusion. At 715 6th Avenue, Lafayette Metal and Glass gave way to a five-story, 12-unit condominium.
