Property Description for 555 Washington Ave, 1-D

SPECTACULAR SPACE at the coveted CATHEDRAL CONDOMINIUM. Located at the nexus of Clinton Hill & Prospect Heights, this unique and dramatic home is a rare pre-war condominium. 555 Washington Ave. is an historic former seminary ca. 1914, transformed into a boutique condominium. Enter this special triplex unit through your exclusive patio garden, just off the building's lush landscaped courtyard. The lovely private outdoor space offers a tranquil respite from the bustling neighborhoods beyond.

Apt. 1D features panels of casement windows and a sliding glass door that allow ample sunlight to flood the space, and helps to bring the outdoors in. The original oversized stone archway creates an unparalleled sense of drama, amplified by 14'8" tall vaulted ceilings. You won't find anything like this in a new-development cookie-cutter condo! The living/dining area and adjacent eat-in kitchen make for easy living and entertaining, and the kitchen features updated stainless appliances, butcher block counter tops and a classic subway tile backsplash. The bedroom in the rear of the main level features architectural flourishes and in-unit W/D.

A solid staircase leads to the expansive sleeping loft upstairs, another spectacular design element found in the layout of this versatile and commanding apartment. On the lower level you'll find two additional rooms with lots of options. Home office, guest room, workout area, additional storage... the potential uses are endless.

The sought-after Cathedral Condominium offers a part-time doorman and live-in super, in an ideal location close to subways and a plethora of dining and shopping options all around.

Clinton Hill | Brooklyn

Quick Profile

Tucked behind the Brooklyn Navy Yard in central Brooklyn is the quiet residential neighborhood of Clinton Hill. Once a strictly working-class neighborhood, Clinton Hill has become known for its elegant brownstones and stately mansions that were built as Manhattanites crossed the East River in the 1920s in search of the supposed health benefits that came from living “on the hill,” which has an elevation of 95 feet. Now you will also find newer luxury apartment and condo buildings interspersed throughout the neighborhood.

The Pratt Institute and St. Joseph College give the area a certain energy that comes from having a college in your town, while it’s leafy streets, some with their original cobblestones, and slower pace attract young families. Millennials and professionals are flocking to Clinton Hill in search of a reasonably priced neighborhood that offers both nightlife and an easy commute to Manhattan.
