Let’s start off with an updated vintage penthouse and private rooftop at 424 W. Eugenie Street. It has two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a large spacious living room with a gas fireplace, and a kitchen with a small outdoor deck. This unit has rights to the rooftop, but it’ll need some sprucing up. The bedrooms are a decent size and each have a nice closet with built-ins. Asking price is $670,000 and HOA fees are $223/month.
