Newly customized bedroom closets and barn style sliding doors. New recessed and pendant lighting. New central air mini-splits. Deep crown mouldings to highlight the soaring ceilings. In addition, the building has undergone recent renovations including 2020 roof replacement. In-unit laundry and low condo fees round out the package. There are too many upgrades to mention.
