Attention investors! Just steps from beautiful Margate Park and the lake, you will fine this incredibly bright and unique top floor gem: 861 W Carmen Ave Unit 3E.

Enjoy rich real hardwood flooring throughout the refreshingly unique floor plan. Huge living room offers plenty of flexible space for relaxing and entertaining, with lovely treetop/neighborhood views. This flows into the sunny separate dining area, which showcases a gorgeous restored vintage built-in buffet. The open, updated white kitchen offers an abundance of white cabinets, granite counters and stainless steel appliances. The private outdoor space off the kitchen is perfect for grilling. On the west side of the unit, find the massive primary bedroom, with generous space for a king bed and plenty of room to be creative with office and lounging furniture; there is also a large built-out walk-in closet! Down the hall, find the laundry closet with the high-efficiency washer/dryer combo machine. Both the full bathroom and powder room have been meticulously rehabbed with designer finishes.
