Step into a residence that truly lives like a house. Spanning nearly 1,600 square feet with soaring 17-foot ceilings, this expansive loft at The Chocolate Factory offers scale and flexibility. The massive, open-concept floor plan is designed for entertaining, featuring a living area anchored by a wall of custom built-ins and beautiful wide-plank hardwood floors throughout. The heart of the home is a large, renovated kitchen optimized for high-end utility, featuring solid wood cabinetry, granite countertops, and an oversized center island with seating. This residence boasts an impressive list of appliance upgrades. For year-round comfort, the home is equipped with central air and heat. Designed for growth, the layout offers exceptional conversion potential. The elevated office area can be converted into a true second bedroom by dropping the floor to its original level, while the upper-level nursery nook provides the ideal footprint to add a second bathroom. The primary suite serves as a quiet sanctuary highlighted by historic exposed brick. Residents enjoy premium shared amenities, including a green roof deck and a glass-enclosed rooftop gym, both boasting stunning panoramic views of the Manhattan skyline. The building is pet-friendly. Ideally located just a few blocks from the G train, you are steps from the Pratt Institute and local favorites like Speedy Romeo, Le Petit Monstre, and the RecCreate Collective art space. There is an ongoing monthly assessment of $533.71 and a flip tax to be paid by the buyer. Please note the offering plan designates this loft unit as a studio.
