There is just nothing comparable to this home in the neighborhood! Directly off the lakefront, this enormous 2700 sqft duplex down with attached garage is tucked away down a secluded byway. One of 6 condos, this unique home, w/ an extra-wide floorplan, has 3 exposures & a front row seat to the newly expanded Buttercup Park. It is landscaped & includes water features & charming vintage streetlamps. View this idyllic, tree-lined setting from the LR/DR's 2-story windows, seemingly made for your eyes alone. There are rich, dark oak floors & an expansive exposed brick wall running the length of the entire unit. Keeping it clean & simple, the kitchen features white retro cabinetry-S/S appliances-laminate & butcher block countertops & terra cotta tile flooring. The U-shaped design creates a breakfast bar counter & natural division from the eat-in area. A full hall bathroom features a tub/shower in natural stone, blue tile & a Corian integrated vanity top.
