**OPEN SUNDAY 1-3** Perfectly positioned on the highest point of The Banks neighborhood, 280 E Center has quite the commanding vantage point. Wrapped in windows and surrounded by green space, it captures unique views in all directions. Over-sized southern exposure windows frame the East Village from the living room, primary and 4-season room. To the East: a tranquil tree-lined bluff, and the West is like a scenic overlook. The showpiece edge-to-edge rooftop terrace—a private outdoor retreat unlike any other. Entertain beneath the city lights, cultivate a rooftop garden, unwind in the sunshine with an outdoor TV, or create your own spa oasis with a roof built to support a hot tub. Uniquely designed rounding the corner, home is connected only by neighboring garage walls, offering except ional privacy. The 3-bedroom, 3.5-bath floor plan includes two handy en-suites, wet bar, window seats only available in a handful of homes here, custom built-in pantry and closets, top-down/bottom-up blinds, and a new smart-screen refrigerator. Additional highlights include a pergola, heated two-car garage with natural light and a private alley area perfect for social hour BBQ's with a parking nook. Beyond the home itself, living 2 blocks to the East Village is pretty okay. Maybe a little better than okay. Its a lifestyle you can't begin to appreciate until you are here. Offered at $630,000 with tax abatement.
