Romantic and Secluded Secret Garden Condos

Built with care in 1948, these special one bedroom condos are unexpected, romantic and secluded.  Each has a private entry down its own brick staircase.  Each features its own private, fenced garden and they share an interior corridor to be used as a wet weather entrance or an emergency escape.  The corridor also contains shared, stacked laundry and some storage.   But there the similarity ends. 

Number 4 was dramatically renovated in 2019.  It features new wide-plank white oak floors, an open floor plan, a stunning new kitchen and an open-flame gas fireplace.   The stylish bathroom features a new vanity and dramatic black and white floor as well as a clever spacious storage cabinet secreted behind the door.   The unit retains the grace of another era with period lite-ed windows and casework that blends well the modern convenience of electric remote controlled custom shades and an open great-room style living.

Number 5, on the other hand, feels very cocktail hour and MCM with Sunset Magazine style indoor/outdoor living.  The red tiled entry is shielded by a zinc awning.  The door swings open into a huge living room featuring open architectural beams, a floor to ceiling Roman brick fireplace and big plate glass style windows overlooking its private garden, as well as access to same.  Dramatic vertical openings join the living room to the formal dining room, which flows to the bedroom and refreshed en-suite bathroom beyond.  The kitchen, side by side with the dining room, overlooks the garden and features new appliances and countertops and freshly painted cabinets. 

The private rear gardens both have brick terraces and peek-a-boo views of Corona Heights and beyond.  This rare offering is an amazing opportunity to have your choice of two unique homes ready for immediate occupancy with privacy, grace, and period details.
