The common areas have were updated in 2017 by Don Sparks of Lifestyle Designs, also an East Walnut Hills resident.  This was a game changer for the building.  Finally the hallways are worthy of these amazing views.

Current renovations are 10 A which has a beautiful upriver view and is currently listed for $295,000.  It’s on the 10th floor and has undergone a complete renovation.  It’s style is contemporary and very neutral.  The master suite has a walk in shower and laundry.  The second bathroom has an extra deep very modern tub surrounded by subway tile and quartz counter tops.. The kitchen really shines with sleek off white cabinets made by Stosa in Italy, quartz counter tops, open shelving and stainless appliances.  The best part about this kitchen is that you can talk to your guests in the dining room and see the spectacular view all while preparing dinner. The condo is roomy at 1285 square feet. A typical condo in this building is 1285 to 1650 square feet. Unit 2D is also undergoing a renovation and wil be available in the spring of 2018.

The 12th floor is in the process of being combined and renovated to make one of the best penthouse condos in the whole city with 360 degree views of the city and views directly over the river.

What’s an original condo like?  Think parquet floors and 55 year old kitchen cabinets and no laundry in the unit.  Do you have what it takes to renovate a condo like this?  If you do, please give me a call and I’ll find you a great opportunity.  Condo sellers, I always have buyers looking for river view condos in East Walnut Hills and Eden Park.

Walk to Eden Park and many restaurants and cafes.  It’s a short 13 minute walk to the Overlook at Eden Park and a 5 minute walk to Woodburn Ave where there are many fun places like Woodburn Brewery, Myrtle’s Punch House, O Pie O, Café DeSales.  Urbana Cafe is also opening up a café on Woodburn.  Walk up McMillan to get to Parkside Café, The Brew House, Just Q’uin BBQ, Fireside Pizza, Landlocked Social House and more. There’s several churches within walking distance.  Unity and St. Francis DeSales are both within 10 minute walking distance.
