This condo on one of the neighborhood’s prettiest tree-lined blocks offers quintessential Art Museum area living: an uber-charming unit with super-high ceilings, oversized windows and original woodwork in a pet-friendly, professionally managed building. The unit features an open-plan main living space with recessed lighting, decorative fireplace and a kitchen that efficiently packs everything you need–including a good amount of cabinet space, a dishwasher and even a window–into a small footprint. When you don’t need to use the central air, catch a nice breeze from the door to the fire escape. The large bedroom has oak floors, a full wall of closets with custom organizers and two massive windows with original decorative millwork looking out to the treetops. The bathroom has cream hex tile floors and a fun retro curved surround on the jetted tub. There’s an in-unit laundry closet and a designated basement storage area. The affordable price tag makes this a great alternative to renting, or a no-frills Parkway-adjacent pied-a-terre in a super walkable pocket of the city that’s two blocks from the Broad St line and a quick hop to the Vine Street Expressway for commuters.
