Description
The Light. The View. The Downtown Energy - Welcome to 55 Hester 8C!
You walk in. Sunlight floods the space through a wall of windows, thanks to the apartment's south-facing exposure, framing breathtaking views of Seward Park and the vibrant Lower East Side beyond. This is more than an apartment - it's a retreat in the heart of the city.
An inviting entry foyer leads to a comfortable living and dining area, perfectly sized for both quiet nights in and casual gatherings. The kitchen is equipped with everything you need: stainless steel appliances, including a full-size dishwasher, a gas range, and ample cabinetry for all your essentials.
The bedrooms are generously proportioned, each offering abundant storage, plenty of closet space, and large windows with serene city and park exposures. Soundproof, noise-reducing windows provide exceptional peace and quiet, allowing natural light to pour in while keeping the city's energy comfortably outside.
