Perched high above the vibrant streets of Downtown Brooklyn, The Syndicate Team presents this luminous two-bedroom, two-bath residence; a modern sanctuary where sleek design meets urban convenience. Floor-to-ceiling windows wrap the corner living room in a panorama of city views-iconic Manhattan towers to the west, dynamic Brooklyn architecture all around-filling the home with radiant natural light from sunrise to sunset.
Inside, clean architectural lines and refined finishes create a contemporary canvas for your personal style. The open living and dining area is perfect for both quiet mornings and lively evenings, framed by white oak wide-plank wood floors and anchored by a soothing neutral palette,with sunsets filtered by double hung custom blinds, a lifestyle resoundingly punctuated by bold design moments. A state-of-the-art kitchen, spa-inspired baths, and thoughtfully designed bedrooms complete the private living spaces.
Bathed in natural light and framed by sweeping skyline views, this sophisticated two-bedroom, two-bath home is a masterclass in contemporary design. The showpiece of the residence is its pillared, corner living room-a dramatic architectural feature that subtly zones the space while lending it the elegance of a modern gallery.
Here, walls of glass stretch from floor to ceiling in two full exposures, dissolving the boundary between indoors and out. The result is a living space that feels endlessly open, airy, and alive with the shifting light of the day. The gently curved pillar adds both sculptural interest and a sense of grounded permanence, a quiet counterpoint to the transparent expanses of glass.
A designer's dream, the layout invites multiple styling possibilities. The generous proportions allow for a layered furniture plan: an intimate conversation nook by the windows to take in the views, a more formal seating arrangement anchored by the architectural column, and a seamless flow toward the open dining area. The natural oak floors reflect the sunlight, adding warmth to the crisp modern palette, while the neutral backdrop invites bold accents or a soft monochrome scheme.
This pillared, glass-wrapped living room isn't just a space to inhabit-it's a statement in itself, blending architectural drama with the livability of a perfectly considered home. And with full-service amenities, unbeatable subway access, and Manhattan only ten minutes away, it's the rare find that marries striking design with city-perfect convenience.
Enjoy luxury building amenities, including a 24-hour attended lobby, stunning courtyard and greenhouse, state of the art fitness center, landscaped roof deck, central laundry facility, media lounge and a billiard room with entertainment center. 
This is more than an apartment-it's a vantage point, a retreat, and a statement, all in one. In the heart of Brooklyn's cultural crossroads, your contemporary city life begins here.
