This completely rebuilt and renovated Munjoy Hill townhouse is your ideal urban condo with private entrance and three floors of living space as well as a full basement for all your gear and toys. The 1+ bedroom condo was fully rebuilt in 2019 as a project to revitalize historic structures into beautiful energy efficient residences in an ideal location with great neighbors and a well run association. The open layout kitchen/living/dining room is on the 1st floor, a light filled primary bedroom and large bathroom with double vanity and laundry room is on the 2nd floor, and a bonus room with sunny skylight is on the 3rd floor (your choice: office, media room, guest or exercise room!). The full basement provides a generous amount of storage with easy access from your back entrance. City living just got better with your deeded parking space and shared courtyard. Get the benefits of condo living with a single family feel. This is truly the best location, a mere couple of blocks to the eastern promenade, breweries, restaurants and miles and miles of walking/biking trails.
