Property Description

Across from the river on an oversized, beautifully landscaped lot, Unit 2 of this stately Victorian conversion lives like a single-family home with zero condo fees. Inside, eight well-proportioned rooms include four bedrooms and 2.5 baths. The updated kitchen features crisp cabinetry, solid-surface counters, a designer backsplash, and modern flooring that flows into a generous dining room with French-door access to a roof deck overlooking the water—ideal for morning coffee or summer gatherings. The family room and the primary suite each enjoy brand-new carpet, while two baths are enhanced by radiant heated floors. A one-car garage offers finished space above for an office, gym, or studio, and a walk-up attic supplies valuable extra storage. With scenic water views, instant access to the Riverwalk, nearby parks, and local events, this home blends Victorian charm with contemporary comfort in a commuter-friendly location. A rare combination of space, style, and convenience awaits.
