This one-bedroom loft has a couple of distinctive features, including a curved iron stairway that leads up to the lofted bedroom and a custom-built “disappearing closet” with banks of retractable bookcase-like shelving units. It’s in the former Chocolate Factory, a converted industrial building at 689 Myrtle Avenue in Bed Stuy, which now houses 45 units instead of pumping out sweets.

The setup is classic loft; it’s a cavernous open space with a bank of windows at one end, and an open loft bedroom with a built-in desk. Listed somewhat fancifully as a two-bedroom, it’s got storage space below the bedroom and a second windowless space less than six feet square, which is tagged on the layout as a walk-in closet.

There’s an open kitchen with custom green-doored cabinets and a U-shaped stone countertop with room for a couple of stools at one end. Next to it’s a washer and dryer that share a closet with the hot-water heater.

The building’s got a green roof with a shared deck and a “glass rooftop gym,” which we’d like to get a gander at. Common charges are $527 a month, taxes another $160.

Listed by Rutenberg brokers Dean Moodie and Chris Danuser, the unit hit the market in August at $895,000, then dropped to $849,000 at the end of September; it’s now asking $825,000. Think it’ll move at that price? How do you like it?
