THE CONDOS

One of the features I love about these vintage condos are built-in vanities as shown above. Most of the condos have a master bedroom dressing area with a built-in vanity that leads to the master bathroom.

Many of the master baths I saw had separate showers. For those units with 3 or more bedrooms, the bedroom behind the kitchen was formerly the maid’s quarters and includes the second exit for the condo.

Most units don’t have a washer and dryer, but in 2012 the condo board voted to approve their installation in units. Most of the condos I’ve seen have electric cooking appliances, but gas can be installed for a fee.
