In addition to its two bedrooms and two bathrooms, the home also includes a striking blue combination dining room and TV room just off the kitchen.

The property is currently seeking $275,000 plus $1,614 in monthly assessments covering amenities such as a private garden, library, fitness center, and two furnished lobbies with 24-hour door staff. Reserved parking at an adjacent lot will run an additional $165 per month.
