A rare affordable neighborhood gem with PARKING! This is a magnificent, loft style 1 bedroom, 1.5 bathroom condo with tons of character in a historical building in the coveted area of Bella Vista across from the park! The home boasts a beautiful, functional kitchen overlooking the main living area. The open living room/dining combo, complete with freshly painted walls, and perfect for entertaining, features large windows allowing the light to flood the room and a convenient updated powder room- just think, no guests in your bathroom! Off the living room is a small balcony to take in the fresh air. Up the stairs to the loft bedroom which overlooks the living area. Connected to the bedroom is an elegant full bath which was recently updated with tasteful finishes and the full size washer/dryer next to the bathroom. Perhaps the best part is its location in the building: on the top floor, giving you privacy from the street with treetop views and since the unit is in the rear of the building, there is no street noise. Extra storage can be found in the basement. Neighbors are famously friendly as are the people in the building.
