Want to get-away from it all while still being close to the conveniences of urban life? 

This sunny but secluded one-bedroom, one-bathroom condominium may be just for you.  Its park-like setting is conveniently close to the free downtown shuttle and major bus lines.  Mitchell Park Library and the full-service Charleston Plaza neighborhood shopping center are just steps away.

Going home each day will be a walk in the park!  Enter through the complex's security gate and travel down a tranquil tree-lined path to the condo's private entrance.  After enjoying your flowering courtyard garden, step through the condo’s handsomely tiled foyer to a spacious living room with distinctive oak parquet flooring and white-washed wood-paneling.  The wood motif continues with dramatically expansive, 11' vaulted ceilings, punctuated by 4x8" wooden beams. These beautiful ceiling beams extend throughout the open-air plan, making the home seem much larger than its 690 approx. square feet.

Designed to be multi-functional, the large and light-filled living room easily accommodates a quiet, romantic fire in its antique-brick fireplace or a raucous social gathering that spills out the double sliding-glass doors into the substantial courtyard.  This bright and airy room benefits from a sunny, southern exposure shining through its many windows - including the sliding glass-doors, a large floor-to-ceiling picture window, and walls of clerestory windows.

Adjoining the living room is a charming dining room with built-in buffet and glass-fronted china cabinet.  A handy pass-through window above the breakfast bar overlooks the freshly painted utility kitchen with its ceramic counter tops and new linoleum floor.  Cooks will enjoy the hooded electric stovetop and built-in oven, dishwasher and garbage disposal.  Do you grow your own herbs?  There's a second courtyard outside the kitchen that is perfect for small container gardens - or even a bistro table.

Treat yourself with the roomy master bedroom's oversized, mirror-door closet and burglar-resistant, horizontally louvered windows.  The master bath is recently remodeled to include a large shower with safety grab bars and a handy ceramic bench seat. 

This desirable real estate bargain, in such a wonderful location, won't last long.  See all the incredible amenities for yourself - and get ready to move in!
