The welcoming foyer leads into a spacious living and dining area. The modern kitchen is outfitted with high-end Wolf and Bosch stainless steel appliances, exquisite marble countertops, and an expansive custom-crafted lacquered walk-in pantry.

An elegant, minimally designed staircase ascends to a balcony that overlooks the living room, leading to the brightly lit second bedroom. This bedroom boasts an en suite bathroom, walk-in closet, and sliding glass doors along one wall, which open onto a spacious terrace. This tailor-made outdoor space is equipped with Ipe decking, enjoys southern exposure, and includes a spigot for ease of maintenance and irrigation of flowers and plants-no green thumb necessary! Also on the top floor is a specially prized storage attic that spans the length of the apartment, providing the convenience of having on-site space to keep belongings on hand yet out of sight.

Positioned quietly in the center of the building, the unit enjoys southern exposures, offering peaceful and breathtaking views of the treetops of the beautifully landscaped garden below and the iconic bell tower above.

This distinctive home is nestled within The Arches at Cobble Hill, an architectural gem with a storied past as St. Peter's Church and Academy since its inception in 1858, later transformed into condominiums in 2005. The building's amenities enhance the living experience, offering a resident super, elevator, common courtyard for outdoor enjoyment, and a package room for secure deliveries.

Strategically located, this home is mere minutes away from the vibrant shopping and culinary offerings of Smith and Court Streets, as well as Atlantic Avenue.
