About This Home
As of May 2025Located near the intersection of 2222 and Mopac, this condo boasts both an amazing location AND a matching price-point. You’ll love the ease of living here. With beautiful floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the treetops, the home includes a generous living area, spacious bedroom with walk-in closet, and its own washer/dryer.
This one-bedroom condo lives large thanks to an efficient use of space and abundant natural light. The open-concept living area includes room for a dining table and also opens to the kitchen so that you can easily host friends. With brand new laminate floors and fresh paint, this space shines.
The adjoining kitchen features on-trend white subway tile backsplash and crisp white cabinets accented with grey engineered-stone countertops. A window sits above the large stainless steel sink, bathing the room with soothing natural light and offering views of the green space in the community. Open to the living room, the kitchen’s built-in bar offers a place for quick meals or conversations with loved ones.
The sizeable bedroom features a large floor-to-ceiling window, ceiling fan for energy efficiency, and walk-in closet. Across the hall, the bathroom has a relaxing tub, vanity with integrated sink, expansive counter space, a window, and plenty of storage. You'll love the endless hot water from the HOA-provided hot water boiler.
This intimate community in Highland Park West is set back from the road and hidden among the trees. Eight buildings with only 51 total homes are nestled on 4.245 acres. Each building faces inward on a central oak grove dotted with park benches centered around a junior-sized Olympic swimming pool. The grounds also include open green space for exercising your pets.
This secluded oasis is loved by many for its close proximity to downtown, the Arboretum, and the Domain -- all only 10 minutes away. Randall's, Chez Zee, Russell's Bakery, Starbucks, or Perry Park are just a 5 minute walk away.
