Discover modern luxury in a piece of history! This fully renovated Unit 7 (the only one in the 1916 Arts & Crafts building with central air/heat, in-unit W/D, and zero-stair entry) has not been lived in since its top-to-bottom transformation. Every detail screams high-end: Legrand smart outlets/switches, Nest thermostat, August smart locks/doorbell, energy-efficient upgrades, waterproof tiling, and sump system. Step into the spacious drop zone with floating shelves and hookups for a wet bar/utility sink. The gourmet kitchen dazzles with quartz counters, tile backsplash, stainless steel appliances (incl. dishwasher), new illuminated faucet, butcher-block coffee station, and under-island mini-fridge nook. Accordion doors reveal dual pantries with fridge hookups. Relax in the sun-drenched living room with herringbone floors, classic wainscoting, new chandeliers, and recently installed windows. The spa-like bath boasts a rain shower, jet tub, tiled surround, new toilet, and bidet-ready electrical. The primary bedroom features a tray ceiling, cedar closet, and tons of storage—including extra across the hall. Pet-friendly with a huge backyard and large parking lot. Park right next to your entry door with a small balcony area for outdoor grill. Large backyard storage can be used for decorations or bikes etc. HOA dues include water, trash, building maintenance, snow removal and landscaping. Prime location: walk to Hy-Vee, shops, restaurants, Drake & more. Contract Terms available.
