Lots of specials in this unit. In this
'top' 17th floor there is crawl space between the ceiling and
the roof permitting recessed lighting and other installations.
The owner has also added an extra layer of sheetrock with sound
proofing air space between the master bedroom and the adjoining
unit.
The kitchen has been remodeled at a
cost of $43k, with Poggenpohl cabinetry, tile flooring and countertops
and upgraded appliances. Baths have also been redone: Guest

oversized shower, tile floors and walls, faucets, special lighting.
Heating AC unit was replaced in '01 with a new Trane unit including
electrostatic filter. New heavy duty sun drapes installed in
'02 at a cost of $4,703.
The building has also been the recent
beneficiary of much upgrading. The homeowners association has
spent several hundred thousand dollars in both mechanical system
upgrades and cosmetic improvements. Some of the items include
extensive plumbing, cooling and water systems replacement, painting
the building exterior and selected common space remodeling.
The board is a collegial group of successful
professionals; a federal judge, real estate developer, engineer,
accountant and a retired attorney. They are sensitive to the
need for aggressive management in maintaining a maturing building
in first class condition. The construction site to the west
of the Del Prado is an excavation for a contemplated 14 story,
150 foot (same as the Del Prado) condominium. If completed as
planned, it will likely have little impact on 02 units. The
work has been stopped for several months now due to litigation,
and there is no current estimate of the outcome. A court hearing
is scheduled for February. Ask listing agent for more details.
