Discover modern luxury in a piece of history! This fully renovated Unit 7 (the only one in the 1916 Arts & Crafts building with central air/heat, in-unit W/D, and zero-stair entry) has not been lived in since its top-to-bottom transformation. Every detail screams high-end: Legrand smart outlets/switches, Nest thermostat, August smart locks/doorbell, energy-efficient upgrades, waterproof tiling, and sump system. Step into the spacious drop zone with floating shelves and hookups for a wet bar/utility sink. The gourmet kitchen dazzles with quartz counters, tile backsplash, stainless steel appliances (incl. dishwasher), new illuminated faucet, butcher-block coffee station, and under-island mini-fridge nook. Accordion doors reveal dual pantries with fridge hookups.
Relax in the sun-drenched living room with herringbone floors, classic wainscoting, new chandeliers, and recently installed windows. The spa-like bath boasts a rain shower, jet tub, tiled surround, new toilet, and bidet-ready electrical. The primary bedroom features a tray ceiling, cedar closet, and tons of storage—including extra across the hall. Pet-friendly with a huge backyard and large parking lot. Park right next to your entry door with a small balcony area for outdoor grill or chairs. Large backyard storage can be used for decorations or bikes etc. HOA dues include water, trash, building maintenance, snow removal and landscaping. Prime location: walk to Hy-Vee, shops, restaurants, Drake, Waveland, & bus stop.
