An immaculate condominium with spectacular views of Lake Michigan and close to re-vitalized Downtown Racine and Harbor! Immense airy sunlight elegance; 1,553 square feet, all on one floor! The East Park Tower (EPT) grounds are lush and sculptured!
The unit is ultra quiet, safe, and secure. Security cameras view the main entrance and the underground parking area. Monitors of the entrance, installed in all units, shows who is requesting entry. No unwanted people enter. Every unit has a fire door leading to a stairway and exit. Every unit also has a fire alarm.
Take the south elevator to the EPT's 4th Floor. You have only 3 neighbors on your floor. All use the garbage chute, in the hallway off the stairs, to drop refuse all the way to the underground collection bin. What could be easier?
Opening the 4AS door you enter onto a stately hardwood floor foyer, with a built in lighted 10 ft closet. Walking down the foyer, you turn right into the 3rd bedroom or hobby/office room. This room could also serve as an elegant dining room. Notice the huge wall unit, large utilities closet and the guest half bath. Exquisite and expensive flooring! Premium hardwood flooring, luxurious carpeting, and hardwood baseboards throughout!
Past the foyer you enter the kitchen. This kitchen features enormous counter, cabinet and drawer space. There is also a stainless steel sink, the washer / dryer, range, and refrigerator, yet still has plenty of room for a breakfast table. All appliances are included with Condo purchase.
From the Kitchen you walk out into the Great Room which may serve as dining room/ family room. You walk on exquisite new expensive carpet throughout the remainder of the house. The 2 other large bedrooms are off the great room, each with a full bath. The Master bedroom faces east. Open the curtains; there are great views of Lake Michigan. Notice the 15' built-in closet and drawers. The second bedroom faces south with a huge walk in closet.
Fortunately your unit is on the South-East corner of the building facing Lake St. Your unit draws sunlight from dawn through dusk, east south and west. Lake St is a one way street in a historic preservation district! Step outside the great room onto a secluded concrete deck facing Lake St. The lake views are stunning yet the deck is nestled next to a huge Norway maple tree, a virtual Tree-House patio. Shade in the summer, sun in the winter and privacy all year long! My average monthly electricity bill is only $83 per month for an all electric unit; heat, water heater, air-conditioning, and all kitchen appliances. This is the only utility bill I pay.

I pay a Monthly Maintenance Fee (MMF) of $220. You don't pay a Water or Sewer bill or a Garbage and Recycling bill. The MMF also provides for Common Building and Grounds Maintenance. I also pay a single yearly fee of $440 into a very healthy EPT investment reserve for long term building improvements. EPT has healthy balances in both the MMF and Investment Reserve. Property taxes for 2009 were $3,604.
