1951 W 26th St Condo

In the heart of it all! Fully furnished. Rarely available for rental: renovated two-story penthouse in the Carroll Avenue wing of Market Square's historic Fries & Schuele Building. Every restaurant and club on West 25th St. is literally right outside the door - along with the Westside Market and all of Ohio City! Duck Island or Hingetown are a few blocks away,in either direction. Tremont and Downtown are barely a mile away. Everything's within walking distance,with all kinds of great stops along the way. The unit has a huge great room with floor to ceiling windows and a balcony overlooking the Fries & Schuele courtyard. Both the great room and master bedroom have expansive views of Ohio City. The master has a large,well-designed walk-in closet with custom cabinetry. A large second bedroom doubles as a perfect den or office,with a roomy closet the whole width of the room,also fitted with custom cabinets. The kitchen is exceptional. High-style inlaid wooden cabinets are complemented by stunning black granite counters,and a spectacular metal backsplash. It's a well-conceived space,with an entertaining/bar area and plenty of cabinets to one side,and a breakfast bar on the other. The second floor has a large family room with its own wet bar,and a beer/wine refrigerator set in a full wall of cabinetry. The upstairs living space opens onto what's designed to be one of the prime outdoor spaces in the neighborhood: a two-level deck - the lower portion overlooking all of Ohio City,all the way to the lake,and the upper portion with a panoramic view over Market Square and the entire Downtown skyline. The building's roof has just been completely replaced,with the decking and stairway temporarily removed. A full-size washer & dryer are ensuite. One garage space,right off the lower lobby,and a secure storage area are included. Open Sunday,1-3.
