About this home

VIEWS, VIEWS and more VIEWS every day from sunrise to sunset over water, treetops and faraway vistas from this move-in ready 2-story, 2-bedroom condo in the city’s well-known Residences at Seaport. Less than a half mile to the beach, this chic home features an open living-dining area surrounded by windows that look out across the city to the inner harbor and 3 sets of French doors that lead to private balconies. Hardwood flooring continues into the kitchen with stainless steel appliances, wraparound cabinetry and granite countertops. An oversized walk-in closet with custom cabinetry is one highlight in the 2nd floor primary suite with several “porthole” windows near the top of soaring ceiling. Wake to glorious views from surrounding windows and French doors that open to a sweet Juliet balcony. Laundry facilities on the 2nd floor are an added convenience to this home with 2.5 bathrooms and central air in an elevator building. Deeded parking is a bonus!
