Beautiful two bedroom + office has been transformed from its builder grade days to high end finishes. Careful consideration was taken when making upgrades to improve quality & functionality + add'l storage where none existed before. Over 100k has been spent on the upgrades, updates and replacements so all you have to do is move in! The 02 tier boasts the best views from the largest balconies. Remote control blinds are on all the floor to ceiling windows. The dining/pool table is available with the unit if the new owner desires. The Living Room is spacious, and you can enjoy the lake views while sitting on the couch or in bed! The Master Bathroom had a total gut job and has been fully upgraded with designer products like Toto, Kohler, Grohe to name a few. Both Master WIC's are real wood cabinets from floor to ceiling. The guest bath has new white veined quartz countertops, larger Kohler medicine cabinet, and faucet. The guest bedroom now has an Elfa reach in closet, maximizing the height space for more storage. The laundry center has a state-of-the-art LG energy efficient Wash Tower that can be controlled by an app. Under the Additional Information" tab you will find detailed information about the upgrades, the unit and building. The oversized parking spot is large enough for a car & motorcycle/scooter or additional space to easily open your doors and exit your vehicle as you are not jammed between two cars. The storage unit is the typical 5x5 cage located right off the elevators on level P2. You will not find a more beautiful view and updated unit on the market for this price, hoa amount and the taxes. Note that no homeowner's exemption filed, so taxes will be even lower, schedule a showing today!
