Property Overview

Situated at 1415 51st Street in the heart of Rosedale, this 682-square-foot residence punches well above its weight with soaring vaulted ceilings, expansive windows, and a remarkable 200-square-foot covered balcony that transforms indoor-outdoor living.

At $433 per square foot, the property sits 17 percent below area median pricing, presenting compelling value in a highly desirable corridor where walkability and character define the lifestyle.
