About the Condo: The building itself has only two condos being used as residences on the top floor, with the lower floors used as offices – 7 units in all means you’ll have lots of say in your own environment  and condo experience.  The unit can also be used commercially should you want to run your art studio or similar out of your home.  It also makes for a very quiet building.

If you’re interested at all it may be another 16 years before something this unique comes available so don’t delay.
