The spacious primary suite features a large walk-in closet and an ensuite bath with dual vanities, a soaking tub, and a separate shower. Two additional bedrooms, a second full bath, and a spacious laundry/utility room are complemented by two separate walk-in storage closets, one conveniently located near the kitchen and ideal for use as a pantry or additional household storage, providing exceptional storage seldom found in downtown condominium living. Two heated indoor parking spaces are included. Residents enjoy a secure lobby, fitness center, indoor pool, hot tub, and a pet-friendly building.
