## Property Overview

Set up as a ONE BEDROOM!

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! Come and get it!

Based on studio sales at Chocolate Factory with the required listing and closing data. Sample sizes vary by metric.

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.

### Price trend

Median price per square foot, sales at Chocolate Factory

| 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) |

Based on recorded sales at Chocolate Factory.

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.

Sales data through July 2026.

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.

The City has not published the official FY2026/27 and FY2025/26 tax rates yet. We calculated the tax for those years using the prior year’s rate, so treat them as an estimate rather than a figure the City has adopted. Every rate without the Estimated marker is the published one.

Tax Assessment is the assessed value on the City’s roll, and it is the figure other listing sites publish. It is not what the bill is calculated on. New York phases assessment changes in gradually for some tax classes, so the City bills the Billable Value shown beside it, less any exemption the owner holds. It usually trails the assessment, and it can sit above it for a few years after an assessment falls.

Figures are the New York City Department of Finance assessment roll for tax lot 3017341103. Assessed and billable values are determined by the City for tax purposes and are not an appraisal or an estimate of market value. Tax classes and rates are set annually and can change.
