Tucked away in a quiet corner surrounded by nature is this rare 3 BR condo in bustling Strawberry Hill area, ideally located at the nexus of Fairview, Sardis & Providence Rd. Hard to find a condo complex where units have their own individual entrance, this move in ready top floor unit is one of only a dozen 3BR homes & has the Primary BR set apart with an en suite full bath + a wonderful walk in closet. Loads of kitchen cabinet & storage space. Cool counter/bar in the central living area. Washer, dryer & refrigerator convey with property. The big assessments have been paid, the association wisely sold off a valuable unused parcel saving homeowners thousands of $. The improvements are underway including the building exteriors. Next is paving the parking lots & the HOA is now set up for a strong future. The Essex is of the organic architecture style & has a pool + clubhouse, lots of green space with a fantastic location close to shopping and convenient to everything you desire, while being a quiet retreat from the city. Fireplace as is.
