This light-filled 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom condo with private entrance and historic details is the ideal place to lay your head when you return. Your private entrance opens into a mud room (a mud room!) which leads into spacious living and dining rooms. The living room is surrounded by four large windows and graced by a gas fireplace that turns on with the push of a button. The dining room has held a dinner for 12 and much enjoyment over the years. The kitchen has a ton of counter space and a new dishwasher and disposal. Two ample bedrooms with walk-in closets will make your day. A lovely green space with great space for summer dinners and your grill will make you smile. Other upgrades during the owner's tenure include new windows, new bathroom vanity and fixtures, custom closets, back hall laundry and pantry addition, gas fireplace, and finished mudroom. The building has been well maintained and well run with noticeable capital improvements over time. Pets and rentals allowed.
