Built in 1905 and converted to condominiums in 2004, this bright and spacious unit features old world charm combined with modern amenities and has more to offer than many nearby rowhouses with much higher price tags. Unit #1 has a 2-story floorplan that incorporates the main and terrace levels of the building, with eastern and western exposures. The kitchen is located in the center of the main floor, separating the dining area from the living room. It features granite counters and stainless steel appliances as well as a large island for buffet-style dining. There are plenty of storage cabinets, a separate pantry closet, a gas stove on which to prepare culinary delights and a seating nook toward the west, where your guests can sip, nibble, and chat.The dining room, with its Atrium window and western exposure, will fit a table for 8 easily, with room for a buffet or hutch. En route to the living room on the east side of the home you will pass a convenient half bath and the elegant spiral staircase that takes you to the terrace level where the bedrooms are located.The living room allows for an overstuffed or sectional sofa and even has enough room for a desk to finish up that little bit of work you brought home. Watch the game or shed a tear over a Lifetime movie while enjoying the ambiance of the no-maintenance, gas fireplace. A French door leads from the living room to the balcony/deck. Add a table and a couple of chairs and it will quickly become your favorite site for coffee & croissants, wine & cheese, or relaxing over the latest best seller on your Kindle. The steps on the north end lead to the patio and the parking area, which has an Overhead Door installed for security. On the lower level you will find two huge bedrooms. The master faces west and includes accent lighting, an en-suite bath and a walk-in closet with built-ins.
