About This Home

As of September 2024

Welcome to this bright and airy second-floor condo, ideally situated on a beautiful tree-lined street in the Elmwood.

Light pours in through every window in the light-filled living/dining room, complete with a charming built-in and a large closet. From the bedroom window you can see the greenery all around the building, and the additional room (ideal as a home office or sitting area) is equally surrounded by beautiful windows. The spacious eat-in kitchen has been updated and it features abundant cabinetry and ample prep space. Also updated is the tasteful bathroom. With a dedicated garage and plenty of storage, this is an incredibly convenient condo in a wonderful location!
