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.

The Building Advantage

55 Hester is an elevator condominium with smart amenities that make daily living easier:

- Resident superintendent

- Laundry facilities on-site

- Video intercom for security

- Trash and recycling rooms on every floor

A recently upgraded roof deck - the perfect spot to take in the city skyline

Nestled in a dynamic downtown neighborhood that feels like a true hidden gem, you're steps from Essex Market, Trader Joe's, and an endless mix of cafes, boutiques, and local favorites. Outdoor lovers will appreciate being close to three iconic bridges - Manhattan, Williamsburg, and Brooklyn - plus the East River Greenway for biking, running, or scenic walks. Commuting is simple with multiple subway lines, express buses, and East River Ferries nearby. CitiBike stations and easy access to the FDR make getting around seamless - whether you're heading downtown, uptown, or across the river.

This is your opportunity to own a bright, inviting home with space, views, and unbeatable downtown convenience - all within a well-maintained boutique condo building.

Sorry, pet lovers - the building does not allow pets.

The Lower East Side (LES) is a neighborhood where New York’s gritty history meets its high-end future. Known for its legendary nightlife and deep immigrant roots, the area has seen a dramatic transformation with the arrival of luxury towers like Essex Crossing. The housing stock is a unique mix of historic walk-up cooperatives, value-driven HDFC units, and ultra-modern condominiums that offer some of the best views in Downtown Manhattan.
