What makes this home unlike any other is the one-of-a- kind 850 sqf private rooftop, ready for you to create your perfect outdoor oasis. The previous owners enjoyed a full deck and a pergola, allowing them to spend three seasons among the treetop views, gorgeous sunsets, and lake breezes. Plus, snowball fights in the winter! Surprisingly quiet for an outdoor city space, the roof is high enough to be removed from the street-level noise and is unreachable by squirrels and bunnies, making it a dream for growing herbs, vegetables, and just about anything your heart desires. The special home was owned by the same owners since it was built in 2000. They took impeccable care of the unit and building. The property has been professionally landscaped with lush plants and hydrangeas that bloom year after year. The association is self managed by the 4 units, 3 of which are the original owners. All units are currently owner occupied. There are no rental restrictions. The building replaced the entire roof in 2023/24, including all supporting trusses, the ventilation system, and associated electrical, and insulation. The masonry was reinforced in 2023, as well. Updates to the unit are numerous, including NEW: Roof ('24), Hardwood flooring in main living areas ('24), Oven ('22), Microwave (2022), Furnace ('22), AC ('22), Water Heater ('22), Washer & Dryer ('21), Dishwasher ('21), Hot Water Heater ('19). Located in the wonderful McCutcheon Elementary school boundaries, The Condo on Carmen is steps from all that Andersonville has to offer! Named one of the best neighborhoods in the country, there is nothing better than strolling down Clark Street in the morning to grab your coffee and pastry at Lost Larson or La Colombe, while window shopping through the area's incredible stores. Then, meet up with friends for Patio Drinks and impressive meals. Our personal favorites are Bar Roma, Hop Leaf and Anti Prima. It's also just around the corner from the city-wide destination: Argyle Avenue aka ""Little Saigon", home to numerous Vietnamese and Chinese restaurants and shops. The Argyle red line stop is literally around the corner. This is an incredible place to call home!
