HOA,TAX, PARKING FEE INFO, and BONUSES in LAST PARAGRAPH         This top-floor(22nd fl.) condominium originally was two 1-bedroom/bathroom units, which were combined seamlessly into one spacious home.  The fusion of the two resulted in doubled square footage of the dining room and solarium and raised ceiling height (to 12 feet) in the dining room, providing a wide, airy core entertaining area.  But best of all, the two bedroom/bathroom suites are at opposite ends of the unit.  This arrangement provides for maximum privacy, making it a practical space for hosting family and friends or for taking on a roommate or for renting to multiple renters.   The wide solarium is an ideal place to enjoy the Atlanta skyline while sipping coffee, tea, wine, or evening cocktails with friends.  With windows opening to breathtaking views east, south, and west of downtown Atlanta, it also is a great asset for home gardeners, artists, bridge players, etc.  The deep galley kitchen includes a large walk-in pantry, perfect for storing spare tables, folding chairs, large serving pieces, and of course vast quantities of foodstuffs.   The Master suite includes a large walk-in closet/dressing room as well as a walk-in laundry room with washer and dryer. The Landmark building began extensive renovations in 2006, including exterior weatherproofing and beautification, new roof, lobby, elevators, swimming pool renovation and cardio-fitness room (all paid for).  Safety is a plus with 24-hour doorman and secure card access.  Wonderful pool and protected deck area.  Two assigned parking spaces (one covered). Free visitor parking. Walk to MARTA, walk to Mega Bus, all downtown attractions and offices.  FINANCIALS: The monthly HOA fee is based on square footage. The building began as an apartment complex and so all utilities are paid through the Homeowners Association as part of the monthly fee (incidently, this makes the moving in process easier because the buyer does not have to contact all the utility companies).This condo pays $916 monthly made up of: 1) $449 in utility fees, which includes gas, electric, water, pest control and Comcast digital cable TV,  and 2) the "traditional" part of the HOA of $467. The "traditional" part of the HOA pays for the maintenance of all the commonly owned assets: the swimming pool, the building insurance, 24-hour manned security, additions to the capital fund, exercise room, elevators, roof,dead car battery jumping service, etc.,etc. The parking fee(in addition to the HOA fee) for two cars ( we have only one car and sublease one space) is $125 per month. The monthly taxes are only $4. The building does not offer FHA financing, so buyer must have at least 20% down payment for a conventional bank loan. No lease-to-own option. Please do not inquire about this condo if you are not comfortable with the $916 monthly HOA. Building is about 40% rentals and there is no renting cap.CASH BUYERS: $10,000 bonus; must close in 15 days. For the 2000 Coca Cola relos coming to Downtown in 2014: Phone for special financial bonus!
