About This Home
As of October 2024Price Improvement ! This is an AMAZING VALUE!!!! This ideally located two bedroom, two bath condo has been fully updated. The total kitchen renovation is just exquisite with its glass front upper cabinets, the new General Electric and Bosch Stainless Steel appliances and the tasteful Granite counter tops. The stylish cabinets and granite extend into the Dining Area to create extra storage and the ease of entertaining. There is also an extra beverage refrigerator built into the cabinet extension.
The large windows on the East side of the condo with the new decorative shades allow for a great deal of Natural Light to illuminate the expansive combination Living and Dining area. The two bedrooms are also very spacious. The two bathes have been updated as well. One has a shower and the other a bath tub. There is generous closet space.
Walkability is excellent. The property is close to retail, grocery and fine dining. It is also Metro accessible. Street parking is usually quite ample. Must see still photos to appreciate style and condition.
The entire condo has been painted in an attractive neutral color palette. All baseboards have been replaced and there are hardwood floors throughout.
The ESSEX has a 24 hour Concierge, an exciting Roof Terrace with breathtaking views and great walk ability. All utilities are covered by the Condo fee. Retail, Fine Dining and the Metro are close-by. Please take the time to look at the photos to appreciate the Style and Condition. Do not miss this amazing value!
