About This Home
As of July 2024GARDEN TOWNHOME with SOUTHERN EXPOSURE! The Brownstones on Grand is a small neighborhood consisting of a city block of residential rowhomes in a square. #409 is in the middle of that square opening to the gated courtyard. Buffered from streets & sound, corralled away from the buzz of passerbys, you’ll find it. Literally steps to the riverwalk activities, farmer’s market, interstate, skywalk and East Village; yet nestled in this completely serene pocket of the city. Desirable location overload! Inside enjoy a unique stairwell design with built-in shelf the length of the staircase and a corresponding one the length of the primary bedroom that can double as a headboard / art display / nightstand. 3 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, pantry, oversized bedroom closet, a dedicated laundry room w/folding area and front-load washer / dryer with handy pedestals. Wet bar with mini fridge is located next to the most perfectly placed window showcasing the skyline, a fantastic place to whip up a beverage for entertaining on the rooftop. Spigot on the patio just ready for your flowers and gardening needs. Only a handful of homes built downtown with this unique orientation: shade AND sun options on the roof, gated green space entrance with only 1 neighbor and a sun-filled interior. THE BEST!! HOA is well-managed, well-funded. Next door sold for $393K a few months back at $345,000 this home is a sweet opportunity.
