About This Home

As of July 2022

The classic architecture of the serene Governors Lane neighborhood provides no clue that this unit has been renovated with over-the-top master bathrooms and exquisite fixtures. Separating this Clark model from others is the handsomely fitted mahogany study with wood burning fireplace (a most impressive and comfortable room). Another quite pleasant and rare feature is the glass conservatory which adjoins the dining room. The eat-in kitchen has cherry cabinetry, granite counter tops and a separate Sub Zero freezer. Recent upgrades also include a five burner stainless steel range and micro-wave oven. The fine finishes, neutral colors and excellent maintenance make this unit in true "move-in" condition. There are several units in Governors that have been beautifully up-graded, and this is one of the best. NOTE: One time capital contribution of $6,000 and refundable move-in/move-out fee of $1,000 due at closing.
