Description

More than a home, it's a testament to a lifestyle where right-sized living is treasured and true walk-ability celebrated with summer strolls in nearby Mount Vernon Place, or enjoying food and fun at the uber chic Ash Bar. This second floor condo features 11 foot ceilings, authentic shutters, crown molding, fireplace mantel and original hardwood flooring. Three large front windows and two large back windows drape the area in natural light. When opened, they provide natural cross ventilation throughout the home. Three ceiling fans adjust to maintain cooler or warmer airflow by season. The condo includes enhanced lighting. 10 ceiling fan lights and 11 recessed overhead lights dim to suit your mood. Two sets of picture lights illuminate artwork. All interior condo doors have been replaced with 10 pane frosted glass French doors which complement the historic architecture while maintaining privacy. The condo space is delightfully unconventional and unique. While it is a one bedroom one bath on the second floor, it includes an additional 650 square feet of ground floor space comprised of two rooms and a full bath! The space has 8 foot ceilings, cork floors, windows to the front as well as to the back courtyard, cable connections, separate heat controls in each room, and an upgraded utility panel to accommodate future improvements. The space is ideal as an art studio, music studio, practice rooms, or even separate spaces for two home offices.
