Welcome to the historic Waldron Bonfils Mansion! Built in 1906, the home maintains the historic character of the original mansion, while a portion of the home was recently converted and renovated in 2019 into an exclusive community of six modern condos. Historic in the front. Modern in the back. The building and grounds boast pride of ownership while still keeping their self-managed HOA dues for Unit 5 at just $169/month, which is unheard of in the Capitol Hill and Cheesman park neighborhoods. The condo now features quartz counters, stainless appliances, and modern flooring, cabinets, and lighting fixture design, streaming with natural light throughout. The owner has access to free ground floor laundry shared with three other owners and their own private storage locker. Concerned about parking? No worries. Street sweeping tickets are a thing of the past as this condo comes with its own off-street parking space. Do you prefer to go green? Walk, wheel, or scooter to neighborhood hotspots. Grab an upscale farm-to-table dinner at Potager or drinks on the rooftop of Locales just around the corner. Date night? Meander through Cheesman Park over to Liks for some locally made ice cream or down to 6th Avenue for a whole range of sit down restaurants. Or, if you’re cooking at home, grab groceries at Ideal Market (a mini Whole Foods) or King Soopers - both just .1 miles away from the front door. Winner winner, what's for dinner? A condo in this building hasn't hit the market in over two years, so don't miss your chance.
