About This Home
The Light. The View. The Downtown Energy - Welcome to 55 Hester 8C!
You walk in. Sunlight floods the space through a wall of windows, 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. Natural light flows throughout, creating an airy, open feel.
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.
