GARDEN TOWNHOME with SOUTHERN EXPOSURE! The Brownstones on Grand is a small neighborhood consisting of a city block of residential rowhomes in a square … #409 is in the middle of that square opening to the gated courtyard. Buffered from streets & sound, corralled away from the buzz of passerby’s, you’ll find it. Literally steps to the riverwalk activities, farmer’s market, interstate, skywalk + East Village; yet nestled in this completely serene pocket of the city. Desirable location overload! Inside enjoy a unique stairwell design with built-in shelf the length of the staircase + a corresponding one the length of the primary bedroom that can double as a headboard / art display / nightstand. 3 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, pantry, oversized bedroom closet, a dedicated laundry room w/folding area + front-load washer / dryer with handy pedestals. Wet bar with mini fridge is located next to the most perfectly placed window showcasing the skyline, a fantastic place to whip up a beverage for entertaining on the rooftop. Spigot on the patio just ready for your flowers + gardening needs. Only a handful of homes built downtown with this unique orientation & this is your opportunity to call one 'home'. HOA is well-managed, well-funded. Next door neighbor sold for $393K a few months back --- this home is a deal at $350,000.
