About This Home

As of March 2022

Such a multi-purpose flat! Enjoy fresh paint, stainless appliances, bathroom remodel with tile shower, TV nook and white cabinetry. Dues include Heating/Cooling/Cable/Internet/Garbage/ Pickleball/Pool/Tennis/Basketball/ Social Room/Sauna/Hot Tub/Fitness/Sun Deck/ Staff. Offered at $229,900.
