One of Brooklyn’s newest condominiums is selling fast. And how could it not? The Hill is a five-story building with 32 homes in Bedford-Stuyvesant's Ocean Hill neighborhood, one of the
few parts relatively close to Manhattan where you can still get a value home.
Located at 1325 Herkimer Street, The Hill was designed by Issac and Stern Architects. Whether it be a studio, one bedroom, or two bedroom space, The Hill provides tenants with contemporary homes crafted with great attention to detail. Wide plank engineered hardwood floors achieve a rustic feel, while the vistas provided by huge Pella windows beautifully capture the city. The country mouse and the city mouse would be blessed to call these units their home. Although, they may need to compete for space with a cat or dog since The Hill is pet-friendly.
Central air affords owners granular temperature control, while a washer/dryer means you'll
never have to worry about running out of clean clothes to wear. And the kitchens are a dream.
The prep area seamlessly blends Nolte Cabinets with top-of-the-line stainless steel appliances
from Samsung and Fisher & Paykel. The white tile backsplashes perfectly compliment the white
quartz countertops of the dine-in peninsula.
The residences are complemented with a full-fledged amenity package. Many units have either a patio,
balcony, or terrace, while every tenant has access to an event space, gym, private storage, and
a rooftop terrace.
As for the surrounding area, the neighborhood has always had a strong sense of community, beginning with its days as an enclave of Jewish and Italian immigrants in the first half of the 20th century and continuing to this day as one of the largest African American communities in New York. There is an array of places to shop and eat on main thoroughfares such as Broadway, Fulton Street, Atlantic, and Rockaway Avenues. And for when you need to leave the neighborhood, the area is serviced by the A, C, J, Z, and L lines.
