Listing Notes

ARCHITECTURAL DUPLEX LOFT AT THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY A truly exceptional duplex loft, this thoughtfully reimagined 2 bedroom residence at the Chocolate Factory Condominium offers a seamless blend of historic character and modern design. Originally conceived with a sleeping loft, the home has been expertly transformed into a striking architectural showpiece. Soaring 13-foot ceilings anchor the expansive living and dining areas, enhancing both scale and natural light, while nearly 300 additional square feet have been intelligently integrated to maximize livable space beyond the original footprint. The upper level features a flexible layout with a private bedroom and two dedicated office spaces. Ideal for today's work-from-home lifestyle, overlooking the dramatic volume below. A full wall of oversized windows floods the residence with natural light throughout the day, creating an airy, loft-like ambiance. Custom storage solutions are seamlessly incorporated throughout, including built-in niches and dedicated storage areas, ensuring both form and function. The home is outfitted with premium conveniences, including stainless steel appliances, dishwasher, in-unit washer and dryer, and central heating and air conditioning, delivering modern comfort within a distinctive loft setting. As a resident, enjoy exclusive access to one of Brooklyn's only green roof decks, a peaceful retreat complete with a landscaped garden, attracting butterflies and crickets. The glass-enclosed rooftop gym provides panoramic views of the Manhattan skyline, including landmarks such as the Empire State Building and Freedom Tower. Additional premium amenities include 24/7 video security, a smart intercom system with mobile integration, high-speed Verizon internet, a bike storage room, and rooftop WiFi, making it easy to work or relax outdoors in tranquility. Ideally located just 3 blocks from the G train and close to major subway lines, this loft offers exceptional convenience for commuting throughout Brooklyn and Manhattan. You'll also enjoy easy access to top grocery stores like Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, and Wegmans, as well as a wide variety of restaurants and organic markets. With nearby parks, farmer's markets, and cultural spots like Fort Greene Park and the YMCA, this location truly has it all. This loft on the border of Clinton Hill and Bedford-Stuyvesant is within your reach. Don't let it slip away. Call today to view your new home at The Chocolate Factory Condominium.
