Off the kitchen is a large dining area which fits a table for 12 and opens to the spacious living room with gas burning fireplace and an adorable nook, perfect for a home office with a gorgeous fireplace as your background when on Zoom calls. One of the best features of this remarkable condo is the large covered front porch which is set amongst the trees and is off the kitchen where you can garden, cook or simply enjoy a beautiful sunset view from your southwestern exposure while you look out over your quiet one way tree lined residential street. In the rear of the property are two large bedrooms. The primary bedroom easily fits a king sized bed and has a huge walk in closet plus an en-suite primary bathroom with heated floors, a whirlpool tub, walk in shower with steam shower, rainfall shower head and body sprays, as well as a double vanity with lots of storage space.

Great sunlight throughout the condo due to southern and western exposures in the living room, dining room, kitchen and patio and northern and western exposures in the bedrooms. Garage parking included in the oversized detached garage, which is large enough to accommodate three cars but has spaces for two cars meaning no door dings or squeezing to get in and out of your car anymore.
