They simply don't build them like this anymore! This is a rare opportunity to own a huge one level unit in the Carriage Villas, a low rise building in the heart of the trendy Lower Mount Royal district built entirely of brick and concrete! It's the best sound insulation possible and this ground floor, south-facing unit is ultra secure, bright and spacious at just over 1600 sq ft. This Luxury condo features a modern kitchen with two matching, sparkling bathrooms all of which were updated by the previous owner and feature gleaming tile, bidet, deep soaker tub in the 5 piece and a beautiful glass-doored walk-in shower in the 3 piece. The master bedroom is enhanced by a walk-through closet to the expansive ensuite bathroom and second bedroom is ideally situated on the opposite side of the unit mere steps from it's own bathroom. The living area is massive and complete with formal dining space, a fireplace, sliding high efficiency glass patio doors opening out onto a private fenced courtyard and garden! The current owner invested in a brand new heat pump for heat and A/C, serviced the gas fireplace to ensure maximum efficiency. The exterior of the well-managed complex and interior common areas are currently undergoing a scheduled major renovation to improve building efficiency and reduce operating costs, the results of which will accentuate a more contemporary aesthetic as well as complete necessary preventative maintenance to the roof and balconies having NO affect on the current condo fees (completion towards the end of summer 2024.) The building will also have a new gym and party room as a result, as well as enhanced security features. This home is complete with additional storage and two assigned, heated underground parking stalls. Of note, again is the location, situated in the middle of Lower Mount Royal with access to 14 street, 17 Ave to Crowchild, walking distance to the C train and Downtown, vibrant Mission and let's not forget four schools in the area! In Mount Royal and Beltline, a high school, a junior high and elementary schools are all accommodated for. Book a viewing today !
