About This Home
Welcome to 689 Myrtle Ave, Unit 2E - an opportunity to own a piece of Brooklyn history in one the neighborhood's most iconic conversions. Originally built in 1947 as the Cocoline Chocolate Factory and transformed into a boutique condominium in 2003, The Chocolate Factory offers an authentic loft living experience that seamlessly blends industrial heritage with contemporary comfort.
Spanning approximately 1000 square feet, this dramatic studio loft captivates from the moment you enter. Nearly 13-foot ceilings create an inspiring sense of volume, whilst huge south-facing windows bathe the space in natural light and beautifully frame views of each season, blossoms in spring, lush green in summer and a snowy wonderland in winter. The open 20x 20 foot living and dining area provides a versatile canvas for entertaining, working or simply unwinding. Freshly sanded and stained floors add warmth and a clean, modern foundation to the space. The open kitchen bridges the living and sleeping area, offering generous counter space and an ideal layout for hosting, be it intimate dinners or larger gatherings.
The distinctive lofted sleeping area is quintessentially Brooklyn and can easily accommodate a king-sized bed. Here you can create a private retreat without sacrificing the loft's open, airy feel.
2E has plenty of storage space, central air and of course, the coveted in-unit washer/dryer!
The Chocolate Factory stands apart as the first building in Brooklyn to feature a green roof; a serene 5,000sq ft landscaped oasis with native plantings and breathtaking 360-degree views of the Manhattan skyline and Brooklyn. Residents also enjoy a glass enclosed rooftop gym, bike storage and the convenience of Verizon FIOS.
Positioned at the crossroads of Bedford-Stuyvesant and Clinton Hill, The Chocolate Factory is surrounded by neighborhood favorites including Brooklyn Kolache, Rustik Tavern, Speedy Romeo, Peaches, and Stone Fruit.
