This light-filled 1-bedroom, 1.5-bath unit offers an open floor plan with high ceilings, oversized windows, and polished cement floors creating a true loft aesthetic.

Cons

High Association Fee: The monthly association fee of $796.0 is substantial for a 1-bedroom unit, significantly impacting the overall cost of ownership.
Limited Price Appreciation: The property's sales history indicates very modest appreciation over two decades (sold for $314,000 in 2003, listed for $349,000 now), which may concern buyers seeking strong investment growth.
Lack of Central Air Conditioning: The description highlights a gas fireplace but makes no mention of a cooling system, which could be a drawback during warmer months.
