About this home
Want all the benefits of living downtown next to Central Park without the noise? Check out this practically perfect in every way 5th-floor unit at the Vega, on the "quiet" side of the building. Two graciously sized bedrooms, plus two baths (one en suite). An elegant kitchen with loads of cabinet space plus an island ideal for meal prep. The patio is nice sized, just perfect for enjoying morning cuppa or evening cocktail/mocktail. The present owners invested in upgrades to what the builder offered, including wood floors, carpet with upgraded padding, a bench in the primary shower, and the backsplash in the kitchen. After they moved in, they invested even more: $12,000 in closet organization upgrades, a $4500 Centor retractable screen so you can enjoy glare-free and bug-free evenings with the folding patio doors open, hands-free faucet upgrade at kitchen sink, new cabinet hardware, 3 new Minka ceiling fans, all light switches upgraded to Decora brand, plus a Nest thermostat. Unit includes 2 parking spaces (tandem) on P1 plus a dedicated locked storage unit, also on P1. The building includes a club room with a catering kitchen, indoor and outdoor gathering spaces, a community terrace with a grill and fire pit overlooking the park, a fitness center, Luxer package lockers with refrigerated grocery storage, controlled access to the building, two elevators. The Vega is a steel-and-concrete building, which means its quiet between units and between floors. And it's also a pet-friendly building! Roll/stroll to every single thing you can think of downtown—Farmer's Market, Durham Food Hall, the Y, DPAC, Carolina Theatre, restaurants, coffee shops, bars, galleries, bookstores. It's ok for life to be this easy. It really is.
