There’s extra storage in the building’s basement.
This unit is a second floor south and west corner unit with a turret sitting area.

Sorry, but for some reason this didn’t publish this morning.
As it’s so late in the day, I probably won’t put out a new post tomorrow.
Weird that there’s a large split in the back office
Great layout and place could be really cool but the stained Floors really f’d it up. That turret would be a great place to read.
This is priced like its not on a busy street.

Pleasant enough with nice finishes and a great location. Good that the BRs aren’t on the Armitage side. Doesn’t seem “massive” to me, but you don’t often get a full DR and an eat-in kitchen, plus a small office. There’s a to like.
However, living above stores is one demerit. So is the lack of any vintage features. Still, it might sell for near asking.
Lovely staging. I can easily imagine placing my furnishings here. My plants would certainly create better energy.

The millennials that reside here most have put their plants in a closet to avoid clutter.
“Are GenZ/Mil allergic to plants?”
Based on the explosion of plant shops around, not at all.
This place got a very serious decluttering/cleaning, and the kitchen floor still looks obviously worn in the pix. Gotta have a counter-depth fridge, as that one sticking out looks awful, as does the cheap dishwasher.
Corner of the kitchen ceiling–smoke detector, separate CO detector(?) and…what?
“Weird that there’s a large split in the back office”
I first thought it was reclaimed ‘porch’ space, but then looked more carefully–that is really weird, especially its size for such a small room–makes me think that the main HVAC doesn’t serve the BR too well, either.
The coach house under the balcony is a prior CC feature:

A little bit of green would be a good offset to the dark stained floors and help undo some of the dreary-ness

I am moth impressed and disappointed at the same time. Its like the love child of Liberace and a Trixie design
This condo is beautiful and in a great location. Nice vintage building with high ceilings but with all of the features and colors that buyers want. I used to live down the street and recall the CC posts on other units in the building. Young buyers don’t care about a separate dining room and prefer open space. Price seems high for a 2/2.
