Property Description
This beautifully updated vintage condo blends classic charm with modern updates, all in a great Edgewater location! Renovated in 2022, this bright 2-bedroom, 1-bath home keeps its timeless character while adding the comforts you're looking for today. Gorgeous white oak hardwood floors installed in 2022 run throughout the unit and add to the warm, vintage feel.
