I’ve always thought that making the transition from house to condo would be difficult. First of all, what do I do with all of my stuff? Secondly, how would it be to have to travel by elevator to take my beloved canines out for a walk? There are numerous alternatives, such as this Central West End townhome right by New City School. Imminently livable, the residence has two decks—one off the kitchen and one on the rooftop. The ceilings are high: 10-feet on first floor and 9-foot on the upper second and third floors. The kitchen has granite countertops, stainless-steel appliances, and all white cabinets. The master suite, guestroom and laundry are on the second floor. The third floor has a combo bedroom/family room with gas fireplace, half bath, and built-in home office. The price: $465,000.
