Enjoy the best of city living in this spacious 2-bedroom, 2-bath contemporary corner unit condo at Carlyle Square, where high ceilings, exposed ductwork, and floor-to-ceiling windows create a bright, open feel overlooking the beautifully landscaped courtyard. Warm marble flooring flows through much of the home, complemented by fresh paint and brand-new bedroom carpeting for a polished, move-in-ready interior. At the heart of the home is an open kitchen featuring handsome cabinetry, granite countertops, custom lighting (including gorgeous Murano glass pendulums), and stainless steel appliances. The open living space flows seamlessly from the Kitchen into the generous Great Room for easy everyday living and entertaining. The extraordinary high ceilings and abundant windows make the space feel amazing! The bedrooms are thoughtfully positioned on opposite sides of the main living space for added privacy, making the second bedroom equally appealing for guests or a home office. Two full baths, excellent walk-in closet space in both bedrooms, an in-unit full-size washer and dryer, and two deeded garage spaces add exceptional practicality. All in a community that is built around a lovely courtyard with a water fountain, benches, and tables for secure outdoor leisure.
