Description
Welcome to The Manor Apartments, a vintage 1928 Tudor revival high-rise overlooking historic 12.7-acre West Side Park. Secure entry is provided via a front entry vestibule from which visitors can be buzzed into the main lobby, which features a wood-beamed ceiling, terrazzo staircase with ornate metalwork, and one of the oldest operating elevators in the state. This 4th floor unit (unit numbers start on the floor above street level/lobby) offers vintage charm combined with major updates. Recently refinished original solid oak parquet floors run through all areas except kitchen and bathroom. The grand entry hallway has arched doorways leading to the different rooms. The kitchen and bathroom have been undergone complete renovation. The generously sized dining room and living room handle entertaining with ease. Somewhat unexpectedly, there are no walls of the unit in common with other units, and the building features robust steel and concrete construction, making the home exceptionally quiet. Some extra storage is just outside the unit's back door, and there is a large secure storage area in the 6th floor walk-up attic. Bike storage is available on the ground floor for an annual fee and in a designated attic area at no charge. In recent years, the condo board has completed many significant maintenance and repair projects, including roof, tuck pointing, steam boiler, energy saving radiator thermostat valves inside units, common area windows, and landscaping--all while building up an unprecedented financial reserve. Monthly condo fees include heat, water (and water heating energy), insurance, landscaping, lawn maintenance, snow removal & trash. Unit owner pays only for electricity and gas for cooking. This unit does not include owned parking, but attached garage bays are sometimes available for rent, and parking lot spaces immediately to the east (right outside the building's back door) are usually available for rent; anticipated 2020 rate is $40/month. **New in September 2019: condo fee includes fiber optic Internet service to building. Each unit has its own secure ethernet/wifi router. **See 3D virtual tour and HD photo gallery!**
