The renovated kitchen is equipped with shaker cabinetry, quartz counters, & stainless appliances. Both bedrooms are spacious & feature plush carpeting. The oversized primary bedroom has double closets, brand-new picture windows with screens & can easily accommodate a king-size bed setup. The updated full bathroom has a tub/ shower combo & completes the immaculate interior. Two built-in AC units keep the condo cool during the warmer months.
