Experience the effortless cool of mid-century design at The Towers, an iconic 1960 landmark with expansive gardens, a pool, in-house stores, 24-hour concierge and many other amenities and services.
This beautifully refreshed flat perfectly balances vintage character with crisp modern updates. Large windows frame leafy views and flood the open layout with natural light, leading out to a 20 foot private balcony.
Appliances were recently replaced. Both bathrooms, including the en-suite primary, were renovated in 2025, complete with terrazzo-style floor tile as an upgraded nod to the period. Refinished wood floors in the living areas as well as LVP in the bedrooms. There's thoughtful storage throughout, with expansive built-ins and reconfigured closets. One indoor garage parking space (B10) comes with the unit.
Walk to trails, AU, medical buildings, Chef Geoff's, Shemali's and a variety of retail businesses.
