About This Home

As of June 2020

This 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom penthouse is located in red hot Avondale. The notable features start outside with an extra-wide, corner lot and all-brick construction (and a new roof in 2014). Inside, the home boasts 12' ceilings, real 3/4" Brazilian cherry hardwood floors throughout, crown molding, 42" kitchen cabinets, a steam shower, and a wood-burning fireplace. The washer and dryer, refrigerator, microwave, and dishwasher were all recently replaced. The homeowner receives private roof-deck rights, garage parking and one storage room are included. Walking distance to the Belmont Blue Line stop and affording easy access to I-90, the home's neighborhood is one of the best features of this home. Close by are Kuma's Corner, Revolution and Metropolitan breweries, Dark Matter Coffee, and the 312 RiverRun. Beautiful Brand's Park is literally in the back yard.
