For sale is our fantastic downtown property with big windows onto Howard St. and tons of history. The huge living area connects you with the heart of the Old Market, while the bedroom is tucked quietly back from the bustle of the street. Our family has outgrown this fantastic space otherwise we would be staying forever. Building History: Built in the 1890s, the stout Gahm Block building has been through many iterations including the Mercer hotel where young Carl Sandberg worked a summer washing dishes in the kitchen. Warren Buffetts wife, Astrid, lived in the building while hostessing at the old French Caf. One of the original downtown living spaces, the west part of the building was parceled into 9 units first as apartments, then renovated as luxury Condos in 1995. The Condos were featured in an early Street of Dreams Tour. The 1208 Howard St. building remains a unique treasure of character and quality living among the burgeoning downtown scene. Details: The Condo is approximately 1,290 square feet, with a single large bedroom, full bathroom, and open kitchen, dining, living room with large windows looking out onto Howard St. The building features a shared roof deck, with views to the East. The Condo is incredibly well insulated, to the point that we were able to maintain comfortable temperatures in the winter with two small space heaters. In 2013 we installed a super high quality furnace and heat pump. We also recently replaced kitchen countertops and installed a new granite countertop and sink in the bathroom. We also installed a new stove and dishwasher.
