Beautiful 2-bedroom, 1 bath vintage condo for sale. Come see this beautiful unit that looks out onto a nice green space. It's a pet-friendly building. The courtyard features a community gas grill, picnic tables, pretty flowers and well-planned landscaping. In the basement, there are two washers and two dryers (50 cents/load), along with a very spacious private storage space for the unit. You can also store bikes/strollers in the laundry area.

This condo has five spacious closets (including one walk-in) and beautiful updates that still maintain its vintage charm.

Exterior of Building - Nice Park Setting

This condo is in a beautiful setting overlooking the Peter Jans golf course. There are benches and areas to sit and enjoy the green space. The condo is on the second floor, on the north (right) side of the entrance, hidden behind the tree. There is often wildlife crossing through this path - we often see deer and rabbits running across the lawn.
The building is known as Sissilla - it was built in 1924. There is a maintenance crew on site five to six times a week. It keeps the grounds well-manicured and in good shape. There is even trash and recycling pickup just outside the condo's back door! The neighbors are friendly and it's a warm, inviting place to be. It's also a pet-friendly building.
