About Unit 826: it is spacious!

Saw some pics of this unit on Trulia.com and the pics are nice; 1172 sq feet is indeed spacious. This unit is sort of tucked away and the view isn't is good as some others, however, if you have watched Season 8 of the TV show, '24,' and saw how the character "Renee" met her demise, you could see the advantages of this kind of limited view.

See for yourself. the info and the pics are provided by the listing agent, ADMC Realty Group of RE/Max Colonial Homes.

Part of their listing blurb: "This extra large one-bedroom/1.5 bathroom home w/large west facing balcony (sunsets!) & southern horizon views from the spacious master bedrooms suite is a real gem! Gorgeous parquet wood floors throughout and the renovated kitchen w/ separate butlers entry, storage & handy breakfast bar make this a move-in-and-enjoy opportunity! Garage parking for TWO vehicles, an entertaining pavilion & gardens perfect for parties/cookouts, two outdoor pools, 24-hour front desk staff, security and in-house maintenance too!

These FULL SERVICE amenities + ALL UTILITIES are included in the modest condo fee."

Hyde Park's remark: The modest condo fee is a bit over $500 per month, so it all depends on your definition of modest. I am fact-checking the condo fee info w re to taxes, etc.
