The official state motto of Michigan reads (translated from latin), "If you seek a pleasant peninsula, look about you." The unofficial motto of the Takoma Phoenix Condo Association in Takoma Park has got to be, "If you seek a pleasant condo home, look about you." This two bedroom one bath unit is no exception. If you are looking for a spacious condo at a fantastic price with in-unit laundry, great storage, outdoor space, pet friendly, great community and parking, you have found it! Immediately, you'll notice how spacious the home is - large living area capacious enough for two separate seating areas as well as a separate dining space. Great light through large courtyard facing windows and sliding glass doors to expansive balcony with plenty of room to garden and lounge both! A cozy kitchen is thoughtfully designed with lots of extra storage tucked in, and is one of the few units in the building with an in-unit all in one washer/dryer. Two huge bedrooms with views of the rear tree-filled hillside (no parking lot views!). So much storage! In addition to two very large closets in the bedrooms, the best find in the building is the front closet turned office - complete with built in cabinets and shelving. No need to set up your home office in your bedroom. The glass door allows for privacy when you are on a zoom but plenty of light into the office space. The Takoma Phoenix community is *chef's kiss.*. Neighbors really know each other and look out for one another - you'll have no trouble finding a cat sitter, a cup of sugar, or a listening ear after a bad day. Need a good book - check the 2nd floor laundry room's community library. The condo fees reflect the continuing care of the building - they are intently focused on getting deferred maintenance up to date and providing aesthetic upgrades to best meet the communities' needs - recent upgrades include a new elevator, updated lobby furniture, rebuilt balconies, and the current project to update the front exterior facade. The unit inside has been well maintained and has a brand new HVAC system just installed (with Croppe Metcalfe warranty!), fresh paint and newer hardwood flooring. Very pet friendly building, with easy parking - the lot is rental only, and a space permit is $20/car. Visitor parking is in the back lot (and free!) and delivery parking is at the front entrance. Nearby, you're walking distance to the Takoma Library & Community Center, the Bodega is on the corner, and a short bike distance away from the Co-Op Grocery, Downtown Takoma and the Takoma Metro (everything is about a mile away).
