from the homeowner | Downsizing without sacrificing amenities or space for guests is a dream for many. With this luxury condominium on the second floor of 8253 Parkside Drive, that dream can become a reality. The open floorplan leaves ample room for entertaining with breathtaking views of Clayton’s Shaw Park.

What do you like about the neighborhood?
Whether it’s walking through the gorgeous trails in Shaw Park or taking a stroll to a nearby coffee shop, the location makes it all a breeze. New families or friends with kids will enjoy the exceptional playground in the park and the pavilion for larger gatherings. Award-winning restaurants are footsteps away as is the center of Clayton, which has all one could need in terms of fitness and health.

How is the home for entertaining?
Family gatherings over the years would consist of a close group of 14 around the main dining table. The condo can comfortably host up to 30 guests by simply moving furniture and bringing in rented tables and seating.

Did you make any changes to the property?
A third bedroom was converted into an office space with built-in shelving and cabinetry. All of the closets were upgraded. The condo has plenty of storage, including a storage unit that is available in the garage near the condo’s two parking spots.

Favorite room or space?
The sitting area off of the kitchen dining space is a smaller and cozier space. It was designed to allow for relaxation while also keeping an eye on what’s cooking! We also love the balcony with the built-in gas grill—it’s perfect for a morning coffee or evening drink while reading.

What do you most want the next homeowner to know about the property?
The condo is still larger than many homes, so it allows for downsizing in comfort without the responsibilities of caring for a home. The split bedroom floor plan creates privacy when guests or grandchildren spend the night.
