Rarely does a property so seamlessly bridge early 20th-century architecture with cutting-edge, eco-conscious technology. Spanning nearly 2,000 square feet* on a single level, this extensively updated 4-bedroom Condo lives like a single-family house. Classic craftsmanship takes center stage with tall coved ceilings, refined vintage molding, and oak hardwood floors throughout. The versatile layout features a welcoming front parlor, formal living and dining rooms all suffused with warm natural light. At the heart of the home is a chef-grade kitchen (remodeled in 2020) equipped with efficient stainless steel appliances and an exceptional array of cabinet and counter space. The primary bath offers an elegantly tiled walk-in shower and is complemented by a charming powder room off the in-unit laundry space. Beyond its timeless aesthetic, the home is fully electrified for modern self-sufficiency, featuring an owned 4.6 kW solar array, 13kWh Enphase battery storage, heat pump HVAC, a heat pump water heater, and a dedicated EV charger.
