About This Home

As of August 2024

INSPECTION REPORT AVAILABLE ~ FHA Approved ~ 12 months of dues prepaid at closing by Seller ~ Special assessment prepaid at closing by Seller ~ A very rare opportunity to own the best 1-bedroom unit in The Highlands Condominiums. For real though, look up the other 1 bedroom listings in the complex and come back to this one. Mmhmm. We renovated R201 in 2019 around same time as roof replacement with intention of holding the property in our portfolio long term. Plans change as they do, so you're in luck to get a relatively fresh flip. 2 parking spaces (1 reserved). All appliances stay. Fireplace and TVs stay. Cats & small dogs ok. No rental cap. On priority electrical grid. Convenient location in the middle of a city, yet feels like a forest.
