Step into this gorgeous south facing suite at The Southampton, a beautifully maintained Tridel building tucked onto a leafy street off South Kingsway. Freshly painted with smooth ceilings throughout and completely move in ready, Suite 517 offers the kind of space that's hard to find in a condo today. Picture cozy evenings by the gas fireplace in the spacious living room, finished with hardwood floors and crown moulding, and dinners with friends in the dining area with its elegant mirrored walls. The kitchen is set up for real cooking, with a breakfast bar, stainless steel appliances including a brand new fridge, range hood and dishwasher, and a separate pantry for all your extras.
