About this home

Oh, how beautiful life can be when luxury & location align! Widely known as a vibrant, convenient, & cultured neighborhood, this prime location has it all! Timeless brick-front curb appeal & a gracious lobby invite you inside where a winding, Victorian-style staircase leads you up to Unit 4. With period detail galore, a foyer stands at the heart of this home boasting a walk-in closet & a built-in linen press, followed by private bedrooms off to each side. Entertaining will come easy as the sunny living & dining room share space & are framed by 9 ft ceilings, oversized windows, & an ornamental fireplace. Like to cook? Informal meals can be enjoyed in the updated, eat-in kitchen or on the back deck oasis w/tree-top views of the neighborhood! So much to love ~ lower- level laundry, basement storage, heat & water included in the condo fee, & a deeded parking space #4 - you really can have it all! Just minutes from Davis & Porter T stops, tennis courts & loads of parks, restaurants & shops!
