500 4th Ave APT 5N, Brooklyn, NY 11215

With plenty of natural light, ample storage, and generous amounts of versatile, open space, thoughtfully designed 5N has everything you need for easy, comfortable living. A split layout, private balcony with stunning city and water views, gorgeous apartment upgrades, and a plethora of building amenities add richness and luxury to your day-to-day experience.  Step into the open-plan primary living area, extensive enough for a dedicated living/family room, dining area, and workspace. A full wall of floor-to-ceiling windows and French doors reveals lower Manhattan’s iconic skyline to one side; ports and bridges of New Jersey to the other; and in the center, the Statue of Liberty and the treetops, backyards, and changing seasons of brownstone Brooklyn – combining to make the apartment feel infinitely large. The built-in media console combines seamlessly with a wall of smartly designed storage, several intimate display spaces, and a cozy and convenient window-facing workstation. Additional modular storage underneath the kitchen island can be added or removed to take advantage of breakfast bar seating, as desired.  The well-equipped chef’s kitchen features Viking and Miele appliances; expansive, polished carrara gold marble countertops, a dedicated wine fridge that also makes for excellent dry goods or fragile food storage, and a cheery new backsplash. Copious cabinet space, and a newly-updated dishwasher ensure you’ll have everything you need. Custom fitted retractable screen doors (nearly invisible when closed) open onto your private balcony, roomy enough for both a lounging sofa and a table for alfresco dining. With three unobstructed exposures, you’ll enjoy stunning sunrise and sunset views every day and fireworks from all sides throughout the summer. The king-sized primary bedroom is fitted with custom top-down / bottom-up window treatments.  With both two closets and a full wall of custom, built-in cabinetry by Roberto Gil Design, you will never want for more storage space.  The spa-like, recently remodeled, en-suite bathroom sets this unit apart from others in the building. It features hand-selected, hexagonal marble and basalt tiles; a deep, soaking Kohler “Tea for Two” bathtub with retractable spigot; separate shower with frameless glass doors, and a double sink vanity with custom Glassos Crystallized Glass countertop and plenty of storage.  The second bedroom, technically even larger than the primary, is equally inviting and versatile. The second full bath is also full-sized, featuring limestone and marble tile, an extra-deep Zuma soaking tub / shower combination, and a brand-new walnut vanity. Central heating and air conditioning and a recently updated in-unit Miele stacked washer and dryer complete this home’s convenience.  Residents of 500 4th Avenue are a friendly and welcoming bunch. The building is staffed with a doorman, super, and porter 24/7. Amenities include a gym with updated exercise equipment, including a Peloton; a common patio and lounge, both of which can be rented for private events; and a children’s playroom. A third-party parking garage, bicycle storage, and storage cages are all available for additional fee.  The building is conveniently located on the Park Slope / Gowanus border – in walking distance from abundant shopping and dining on 5th Avenue, Prospect Park, the Park Slope Food Coop, Whole Foods, and several schools. Easy access to the F, G, and R trains, as well as several bus lines, connects you quickly to the rest of the city.  Don’t miss out on this exceptional home!
