Downtown living without giving up space, parking, or a yard. This Mediterranean-style condo sits right in the heart of SoDo with 3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, two private balconies, a spacious backyard with a wood fence, and two dedicated parking spaces including a private garage and covered carport. From the street, a covered porte-cochre carries you through to the paver courtyard to the private entry. Inside, a spacious foyer with high ceilings opens to the main level, where the living room, dining area, and kitchen flow together while still feeling like distinct spaces. The kitchen has granite counters, wood cabinetry, stainless appliances, a breakfast bar and pantry, while French doors open from the living room lead straight to the fenced backyard. A half bath and extra storage finish out the first floor. All three bedrooms are upstairs, including a large primary suite with a walk-in closet, dual-sink bath, soaking tub and separate shower. French doors open from the primary bedroom to an oversized private balcony, while a second bedroom has its own covered balcony. There’s also upstairs laundry, a full secondary bath, and plenty of storage throughout. Out back, the fenced yard gives you actual green space in the middle of the city. And then there’s SoDo. Ask anyone what that’s worth. The Hourglass District feels like an extension of your neighborhood. Foxtail on Saturday morning. Wadeview Park is short walk for some fresh air. SoDo shopping handles the rest. Downtown is five minutes north, Thornton Park is just beyond it, and ORMC is around the corner. Zoned for Blankner K-8 and Boone High, Go Braves!. This is what living in SoDo is supposed to feel like.
