What's around 280 E Center St

About this property

Perfectly positioned on the highest point of The Banks neighborhood, 280 E Center has quite the commanding vantage point. Wrapped in windows and surrounded by green space, it captures unique views in all directions. Oversized southern exposure windows frame the East Village from the living room, primary and 4-season room. To the East: a tranquil tree-lined bluff, and the West is like a scenic overlook. The showpiece edge-to-edge rooftop terrace—a private outdoor retreat unlike any other. Entertain beneath the city lights, cultivate a rooftop garden, unwind in the sunshine with an outdoor TV, or create your own spa oasis with a roof built to support a hot tub. Uniquely designed rounding the corner, home is connected only by neighboring garage walls, offering exceptional privacy. The 3-bedroom, 3.5-bath floor plan includes two handy ensuites, wet bar, window seats only available in a handful of homes here, custom built-in pantry and closets, top-down/bottom-up blinds, and a new smart-screen refrigerator. Additional highlights include a pergola, heated two-car garage with natural light and a private alley area perfect for social hour BBQ's with a parking nook. Beyond the home itself, living 2 blocks to the East Village is pretty okay. Maybe a little better than okay. It's a lifestyle you can't begin to appreciate until you are here. Offered at $630,000 with tax abatement.
