Looking to live in a part of history? Come check out 18 E Madison St. This 1 bedroom condo offers a lot of reasons to love city life. This home is a second floor unit in a secure building so you're off the street level and in the rear of the building so it's very quiet. Come home daily to your own private assigned parking spot at the rear of the building (#1). If you bike- you can leave it locked up in the gated area between buildings. You'll walk up one flight of stairs adorned with a gorgeous wooden banister and neighbors plants lining the tall window recesses. Hardwoods flow front to back in Unit 4 so no carpet to keep vacuumed and allergies won't be a problem. You'll be greeted daily by the historic brick fireplace in your living room. Windows line the entire western wall allowing for great natural daylight to pour in. Your plants will also love living here. The kitchen is fully updated and features 42in cabinetry with beautiful granite counters lining both walls. The stainless steel appliance package includes a full size dishwasher, built in microwave, gas range and side by side fridge. There is overflow pantry space if you manage to fill up all the cabinet storage. The bathroom shares access to the hall as well as a private door to the bedroom so guests don't have to invade your private bedroom space. Laundry is tucked conveniently into a hall closet so you don't have to head out to a laundry mat. The bedroom is very well lit with 3 windows and features another decorative fireplace along with built in wardrobe closets. The ceiling height throughout is amazing and ceiling fans can keep you cool in addition to the central air. If you're craving out door space there are tables in the patio area and a shared grill and roofdeck on top of building #20 next door. Water is included with rent and there is a private storage locker available for an additional fee if needed. Don't miss this opportunity for rent. The Washington Monument park is just up the hill where you'll also find a plethora of coffee shops and great dining and night life.
