Okay, last post we were raving about seaside condos, dreaming of sand, sun, clear water, and a cute little terrace. Anyways, this week we’re back to the city. We received a wonderful description of this city unit, situated in what seems to be the perfect area: peaceful when necessary, lively when wanted. Check it out:
“One of the things I enjoy and love about my condo is the very spacious, well lit and intelligent design of a conveniently situated habitat in the heart of one of the most energetic places of the city. It is a smart two bedroom, and one bath place with a twenty second floor view of the happenings at this beautiful location. The elegant walls are painted off-white and the kitchen has a nice contrast of wooden cabinets and elegant counter tops. It is quiet enough so that Sunday afternoon naps are enjoyed, but noisy enough to let me know when the action is happening and it’s time to visit the friendly neighbors for a friendly social chat.
A very nice and enclosing feature, this condo has high ceilings and a huge bay window that really brings the place to life. The sunshine lights up the atmosphere brilliantly—perfect for enjoying a good book, sipping a glass of wine…whatever I need to take my mind away from the mundane tasks of work, or the routinely endeavors of life. This condo is the right place to enjoy a nice, peaceful evening with my better half and an excellent excuse to have my buddies watch the game and enjoy their company.”
Here at Find Jamaica Plain Condos, we’re generally pretty content with the condos in our neck of the woods. Heck, we think JP has some of the best condos in the Boston area. Sometimes, though, we can’t help but yearn for what this reader has: a condo along the seaside! Go ahead, read and imagine:
“I had always dreamed of owning a vacation home by the sea. As soon as my family could afford half the amount, we took out a loan to purchase a beach-side condo. As part of a major complex consisting of 22 building units, we have a lot of friendly neighbors who are always ready to lend a helping hand. Each unit has 4 apartments with a joint terrace at the top. Our bright and spacious condo is on the top floor, with an unobstructed view of the beach and the sea. It has two bedrooms: a larger master bedroom and a smaller spare room. Both bedrooms have attached baths, walk in wardrobes, and queen sized double beds. We had to purchase our own furnishings and fittings, but this is something we preferred to do anyway. The kitchen is fully equipped for gourmet cooking. The stove is electric. In addition, each unit comes with an outdoor grill. The complex itself is beautifully landscaped, with plenty of garden area, park benches, a small play area for children, and a path for joggers and skaters. There’s a clubhouse with table tennis and pool tables, a common swimming pool, gym, and even a library.
We were fortunate that an old school friend who was leaving the country mentioned her condo to us, which is when we set about raising the money to purchase it from her. I prefer this condo to all my previous accommodations—it’s not as secluded as a house and yet not as crowded as a normal apartment in a building or a dormitory. Truly, in effect, a dream home.”
