The beauty of these ground floor lofts at the Chocolate Factory is their 17' ceilings allowing for FULL HEIGHT rooms both above and below the loft space. With light streaming in through a breathtaking wall of windows, this classic New York loft is a must see! On the ground level, there's a renovated bathroom, washer dryer, huge hallway closet, open office area, a kitchen with a granite peninsula and an expansive living/dining room. Ascend the spiral staircase to a large bedroom with a custom walk-in closet. With walls this huge, who wouldn't want a projection TV? This loft comes with custom 10% light diffusing as well as complete black out blinds, so movie night parties are a cinch. An assembly used for aerialist silks is now holding a fun egg chair. Privacy is guaranteed since the space cannot be viewed from the street. You can gaze at the heavens, but passers by cannot see in making it perfect for a rehearsal space, photo studio or any creative pursuit imaginable. The Chocolate Factory was built in 1947 and converted to condos in 2003 introducing Brooklyn's first green roof--a unique 5000 sq. ft. tranquil garden space with panoramic views of Manhattan and Brooklyn plus a rooftop atrium gym, giving you everything you need right at home. The building recently completed a facade renovation which will last for years to come. Right on the border of Bed Stuy and Clinton Hill, the bar and restaurant options abound. Pratt campus and the shops and cafes on Myrtle Avenue are a short distance away as is Herbert Von King Park and the Kosciuszko pool. Also conveniently located in the vicinity is Fort Greene Park, Wegmans and the Brooklyn Navy Yard. The G train is 2 blocks away. Bike lanes and CitiBike stations are also all at your door. You came to New York to live in a loft!

Prices are the figures recorded with the City, not asking prices. | Unit | Beds | Sq Ft | Sold Price | $/ft² | Sold | Source | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 4C (Loft) | Studio | 862 | $755,000 | $876/ft² | July 23, 2026 | City record · MLS | | 4F (Loft) | Studio | 1,005 | $870,000 | $866/ft² | July 1, 2026 | MLS | | 2E (Apartment) | Studio | 1,000 | $819,000 | $819/ft² | January 2, 2026 | City record · MLS | | 4E (Apartment) | 1 | 1,000 | $825,000 | $825/ft² | October 15, 2025 | City record · MLS | | 5F (Apartment) | Studio | 1,005 | $890,000 | $886/ft² | April 28, 2025 | City record · MLS | | 4I (Apartment) | 2 | 1,182 | $770,000 | $651/ft² | April 21, 2025 | City record · MLS | | 3F (Apartment) | 2 | 1,005 | $875,000 | $871/ft² | October 5, 2021 | City record · MLS | Every row is a recorded transaction, including ancillary spaces such as storage and staff rooms where they were sold separately. Those are excluded from the benchmark below. ### How this price compares The median closed price for comparable studio sales at Chocolate Factory is $819,000, based on 3 sales between April 2025 and July 2026. This home is asking $899,000, $80,000 above that median. The middle half of those sales closed between $787,000 and $854,500. - **Median closed price**: $819,000 - **Middle half**: $787,000 – $854,500 - **Based on**: 3 studio sales at Chocolate Factory - **Period**: April 2025 – July 2026 - **Median $/ft²**: $876/ft² Across the 3 of these sales with a published asking price, the median closed at 100% of what it originally asked. 33% of them closed below the original ask. ### How these sales were negotiated - **Sold vs original ask**: 100% of the original ask - **Closed below ask**: 33% of 3 sales - **Listed → in contract**: 41 days (about 6 weeks) - **In contract → closed**: 84 days (about 12 weeks) Across the 3 of these sales with a published asking price, the median closed at 100% of what it originally asked. 33% of them closed below the original ask. Half of these homes were in contract within 41 days (about 6 weeks) of coming to market, based on the 3 with a recorded listing date. Once a deal was agreed, closing took a further 84 days (about 12 weeks), based on the 3 with both dates recorded. These are two separate periods measured on different clocks — time to find a buyer, and time from agreed deal to closing. They are medians of different sets of sales and do not add together into a single "days on market" figure. Based on 3 studio sales at Chocolate Factory, April 2025 – July 2026. Each figure counts only the sales that recorded the dates it needs, which is why the denominators differ. ### Price trend Median price per square foot for sales at Chocolate Factory, 2017 to 2025. Price per square foot is used rather than sale price so the line follows the market rather than whichever apartments happened to change hands that year. | Year | Median $/ft² | Sales | | --- | --- | --- | | 2017 | $748/ft² | 4 (thin) | | 2018 | $809/ft² | 4 (thin) | | 2020 | $838/ft² | 3 (thin) | | 2021 | $914/ft² | 3 (thin) | | 2025 | $825/ft² | 3 (thin) | Years marked "thin" rest on fewer than 5 sales, where a single unusual apartment moves the median a long way. Read those points as the small samples they are rather than as the market turning. Sale prices are the consideration recorded with the City in ACRIS, and each sale is dated by the day the City recorded it. A closing date reported to the MLS typically falls one to two weeks earlier. Recorded sales describe what has already happened and are not an appraisal, a valuation, or an estimate of what this home will sell for.
