$525,000

This beautifully renovated 2 bedroom, 1 bath condo has been transformed into an amazing contemporary space ready and waiting to welcome new owners into an exciting locale situated in one of the city’s latest developing life science centers. And it's all just a half-mile from the amazing shops, restaurants and workplaces in booming Union Square. Located on the second floor of a 3-unit association, the unit's large eat-in Kitchen was gutted down to the studs and redesigned to make way for all new stainless steel appliances, ample soft-close white shaker-style cabinets and quartz countertops. The south-facing sunroom off the kitchen offers space for a home office and features laundry hookups as well as the possibility for expansion. The condo has been completely rejuvenated throughout with new paint, wood floors and many new thermal pane windows. It’s ideal for first-time buyers yearning for an opportunity to settle into a vibrant urban scene.
