555 Washington Ave #1D, Brooklyn, NY 11238 listing details

At the crossroads of Prospect Heights and Clinton Hill stands a truly majestic building. Once a seminary, this gothic-style structure was reborn as the spectacular Cathedral Condominiums - a coveted, land-marked, full-service doorman residence. Walk through the serene courtyard - previously included on the Brooklyn Garden Tour - and you'll forget the bustle of city life. Enter the private front yard to discover the breathtaking marble arches and soaring ceilings that welcome you into this very special home.This is definitely not a cookie-cutter apartment. The space is unique and versati...le, with 14-foot vaulted ceilings and sun-drenched rooms. An open kitchen/living/dining room makes for easy living and entertaining. The recently-renovated eat-in kitchen features GE appliances, butcher block counter tops and a beautiful glass-tiled backsplash. A hand-crafted staircase leads up to a loft - currently used as a master bedroom - with closet-space galore. Gothic-arched windows adorn the dramatic bedroom on the main floor. If that's not enough, take the spiral staircase down for even more. There's room for an office, a den and a rec room - currently used as quiet, large third bedroom. In-unit Bosch washer/dryer, fantastic live-in super, and friendly, efficient staff make this home - just a stone's throw from subways, excellent restaurants and boutiques - a true oasis. Show more
