Everything’s been updated, from the laminate flooring in all 4 rooms, to the kitchen with its new cabinets, countertops, and appliances which come with the condo, the bathroom, and the bright, modern colors on the walls.
A parking space is reserved behind the building, which has controlled access after 7 p.m. The building also has a common laundry room, a lobby in the front, and plenty of storage space for all your extras.
The monthly HOA fees pay for plenty of amenities, including building maintenance, snow removal, water and sewer, condo insurance, and of course heat. Also, special financing is available for this great property.
So, what does the area have to offer?
Downtown alone has a lot to offer those who choose to live there. Within walking distance is the 5th Avenue Mall, full of great shops to enjoy. Downtown also has a lot of unique specialty shops for shopaholics.
If you love parks, Delaney Park-better known as the park strip-and Hostetler Park are just a few blocks away: Delaney offers everything from soccer fields to an ice hockey rink in the winter, and several of the city’s memorials, while Hostetler offers great views of the city and Turnagain Arm.
