Description:

Landlord is looking for a longtime tenant who will appreciate this beautiful, unique space that includes secure parking and will want to settle in. The Observatory Condominiums were converted in 2003 from an historic stone mansion and adjoining school. This unit is in the mansion section and has a unique shape and layout found only in this particular unit. You enter through the private foyer that includes a coat closet into the magnificent living room with high ceilings, gleaming hardwood floors, track lighting and an electric fireplace which will heat up the room on cool nights and days. It is wired for surround sound speakers. The sunny kitchen has cherry cabinets, stainless steel appliances, granite countertops and a decorative tiled backsplash. The washer and dryer are new in 2024. The hot water heater was replaced in 2023 and the refrigerator was new in 2021. Both the living room and the kitchen have shutters (formerly known as Plantation Blinds) which are elegant and provide both privacy and filtered sunlight from the south exposure. Through the kitchen is the 2nd bedroom which is currently being used as an office. A half bath and laundry closet are off the bedroom. The large primary bedroom has an astounding walk-in closet which is the size of a room all its own. Tall windows have blinds. The primary bath has a long double sink vanity set into a cherry cabinet with lots of drawers and cabinet space. There is a separate shower stall and a big whirlpool tub. At the end of the bathroom is yet another closet with several deep shelves for good storage. The professionally landscaped, gated grounds have mature trees and benches for enjoying the private outdoor space. The secure parking space is included in the rent. It is a terrific location.
