About This Home

As of October 2022

You can finally tell everyone you live on Appleton! Listings like this don't come along much anymore and when they do, they go fast. Don't miss out on this penthouse duplex, w 2 large bedrooms, 1.5 baths, eat-in-kitchen and huge private roof deck. The building consists of only 2 units therefore; it has a single family like feel to it from its private entry just a few steps up from Appleton. A well laid out open floor plan makes it seem much more spacious than its sqft suggests. Wouldn't wait!
