Sunny and cheerful co-op in a great campus location! Recessed from the street in a leafy setting, it's a delight to come home to this perch. This top floor unit is flooded with natural light and features a stylishly remodeled eat-in kitchen, updated bathroom and refreshing color palette. Though upgraded, the vintage character of the unit is still evident in the decorative fireplace, original hardwood floors and beamed ceiling. The building has been well maintained with the installation of a new roof (2025) and newer lead-free water service line. The monthly assessment includes heat, cooking gas, property taxes and free laundry. A large and easily accessed storage locker is assigned to the unit. Nearby street parking is usually easy to find at the end of the school day. Owner-occupants 22 years of age and older only. Smoke-free, pet-friendly building.
