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. Down the hall is a tranquil bathroom with a tub/shower combination, Carrera marble, subway tiles, marble vanity, and two recessed niches. 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. This floor-through home with private outdoor space provides luxurious finishes and an abundance of light and air. 557 8th Street is a well-run and financially sound, pet-friendly cooperative. Complementary storage and bike storage are available in the basement along with a communal washer and dryer. It is located near great establishments such as Pasta Louise, Ladybird Bakery, and Saint Eves Cocktail Bar to name a few. As in close proximity to the F, G subway lines. (Sorry, NO subletting.)

Park Slope | Brooklyn

Quick Profile

Boasting beautiful tree-lined streets, brownstones and a range of activities for all age groups, Park Slope is consistently ranked as one of New York’s most desirable neighborhoods. Filled with lush parks and greenery, the neighborhood is also known for its rare combination of excellent public schools, award-winning restaurants, nightlife, small independently owned businesses and community gardens.

Situated at the western slope of Prospect Park, the neighborhood is divided into different sections: North Slope, Center Slope and South Slope. Depending on who you ask, of course, the definitions of where these borders end and begin may vary (is the divide between North and Center deemed Union Street, Garfield Place, 1st Street or 3rd Street? The one between Center and South 6th Street, 9th Street, 11th Street or 15th Street?). 

Regardless of what part of the Slope you find yourself on, there’s no shortage of architectural beauty. From row houses to brownstones to mansions, the idyllic setting of the neighborhood is further enhanced by its Romanesque and Renaissance Revival styles. Case in point of this is also two of the area’s most well-known churches, Park Slope United Methodist Church and Saint Augustine Roman Catholic Church. 

Revered for its family-friendly appeal, Park Slope is often regarded as one of the best places to raise a family in New York City. That said, it doesn’t mean that parents don’t know how to have a good time... a slew of bars constantly opening in the neighborhood ranging from the high-end cocktail saloon to the dive (well, by Park Slope standards, anyway).
