In-Person and Virtual Tours available, please inquire.  NOTE: Important listing update (Jan 6, 2023)...  With acceptable offer seller will pay the special assessment recently approved by condo board for facade improvements at 1027 Arch plus  window restoration throughout the building, including those in Residence 503.  Additionally this will cover maintenance for common elements of the building's roof and HVAC that assure smooth operation, efficiency and comfort.  The benefits to the new owner are substantial and not to be minimized, including significantly lower risk of deferred maintenance assessments in the near future for issues such as these together with practical enjoyment of new windows (appearance, function/operation, lead abatement). The buyer will likely realize gains in energy efficiency as well as a result of this work.   All of this is a lot to say that a great opportunity just got better!  Please be in touch if we can answer any questions about exciting new development. Thanks for your interest!
