From the rear parking area, everyday access to the condo is conveniently located via the rear, external staircase and porches. This updated condo features newly refinished oak hardwood floors, new light fixtures, and vintage style black and crystal doorknobs throughout.
Enter into the renovated kitchen that features gray vinyl flooring, white Shaker-style wood cabinetry with warm brass hardware, wood butcher block counters, an oversized subway tile backsplash, and recessed lights overhead. All appliances are stainless steel Frigidaire and include a refrigerator with double doors and bottom freezer drawer, a 5-burner gas range, a dishwasher and microwave. A wide porcelain Farmer’s sink has a stainless steel gooseneck faucet with pull-down sprayer, and two double-hung windows overlook the rear porch and are adorned with woven wood shades. This highly functional space easily fits a dining table for 4 and includes a surprisingly large pantry for ample storage.
The adjacent living room is good sized and has 3 windows with woven wood shades. A large built-in hutch with glass doors and exposed wood beams in the ceiling add warmth and character.
The bathroom sits off the living room and is outfitted with a marble style ceramic tile floor, a black wooden vanity with a porcelain sink and brushed nickel hardware, and a black framed vanity mirror with matching light fixture. There is a combination bathtub/shower with a white tile-look vinyl surround. A clear fiberglass panel provides water protection for the window, which is also frosted for privacy.
A central hallway leads to both bedrooms and features a charming built-in shelf nook plus a large walk-in closet.
The generously sized primary bedroom has 3 large windows that bring in abundant natural light and are outfitted with room darkening cellular shades.
The room comfortably accommodates a queen- or king- sized bed plus ample space for storage furniture.
The second bedroom has another wooden ceiling beam for character, a closet and two wireless, rechargeable wall sconces. A glass pocket door encloses a walk-in closet with built-in shelves as well as the stacking washer/dryer set. This clever configuration allows natural light from two windows to pass into the bedroom.
