Welcome home to 557 8th street, unit 1L. History and location are set in a contemporary chic atmosphere, all the makings of a perfect place to call home. This stunning, newly renovated 3 bedroom / 1 bathroom cooperative is located half a block from Prospect Park in a beautiful 4-story, 8-unit limestone building. Upon entering the unit, immediately you notice beautiful oak floors, 9ft ceilings, and an oversized living room. The south-facing exposure invites incredible light into the living room space which has ample space for both living and dining. Perfect for all your entertaining needs. The bright, clean windowed kitchen has the perfect set-up for any at-home chef. It is adorned with Caesarstone countertops, Wolf Range, Fischer Paykel refrigerator, Bosch dishwasher, custom cabinetry, and my favorite touch, a deep farmhouse sink.

As you move toward the back of the apartment, you take a moment to appreciate how the hallway can be transformed into a perfect gallery for your art and photos. The two secondary bedrooms have ample storage space. The king-sized primary is outfitted with double closets and is facing the serene garden. This apartment has exclusive use of the garden which was recently updated with a tiger wood deck and has plenty of space for a grill, an outdoor table with chairs - perfect for a backyard gathering.
