Condos in an over 55 community, like Kings Crossing in Bel Air, have the little touches that those getting a bit older might one day come to appreciate.
Wider doorways, higher counters in the bathrooms, and perhaps most importantly, a quiet but friendly atmosphere all add to the charm of the two-bedroom, two-bathroom unit now on the market for $274,900.
“The size of the unit ? it?s almost 1,600-square-feet ? the openness, the brightness, it?s all outstanding,” Realtor Michael Schroeder said. “It?s very lightly lived in. The woman who lived there before didn?t cook; I?m not sure the stove has ever been used.”
» Special features: The penthouse condo is accessed by an elevator. There?s a very open and spacious floor plan, and a balcony off the kitchen. A nook in the kitchen, surrounded by windows, provides the perfect place for a morning cup of coffee and the paper. Vaulted ceilings are featured in the master bedroom.
» The tour: A half wall separates the dining room from the living space. The room naturally flows into the kitchen, which features Corian countertops, 42-inch cabinets, and upgraded appliances. The master bedroom has plenty of space, including a sitting area. The bathroom is spacious and has a shower stall and higher countertops.
“The condo was designed for people getting into the later years and some of the health issues they can face,” Schroeder said.
» The building: Kings Crossing was completed in November 2004. It has open parking lots with plenty of spaces, a gazebo and walking paths.
» Location: About two miles from the shops and restaurants of downtown Bel Air, Kings Crossing is ideally located near I-95 and Business Route 1.
