If you’d like to see this every morning… …from your own lofty perch…

…then you need to learn about this new, exciting opportunity from The Towers.

Penthouses are a hot commodity in real estate. These residences, perched atop tall buildings, let you live in a luxurious aerie with spectacular views. The Towers, a nine-story condominium building in downtown New London, includes five penthouses. When the condominiums were listed for sale in July 2010, the penthouses were among the first to find buyers.

While the penthouses have been occupied for several years, buyers once again have an opportunity to purchase one of these residences. Penthouse #3, which provides stunning panoramic views, is currently on the market.

“This is a rare opportunity to own one of the most impressive units in The Towers,” said Dawn Thompson, Broker of RE/MAX Admiral.

A spacious outdoor balcony takes advantage of the lofty perch. A gas hookup is available for grilling, and ceiling fans keep the space comfortable on hot days. The balcony looks out over the Thames River, where you can spot ferries and submarines on the water.

The master bedroom suite includes an enormous walk-in closet with built-in drawers and compartments. The master bathroom has a double vanity, tile shower, and spa tub.

A second bedroom also features a walk-in closet, while a nearby bathroom includes a bathtub with built in whirlpool jets. The dining room can potentially be converted into a third bedroom.

The upper floor comes with unique features not seen in other units. Skylights are built into the tray ceiling, allowing the homeowner to fill the space with natural light. A fireplace is situated in the corner of the living room.

An island in the kitchen features a breakfast bar and built-in storage. This space also includes granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and custom cabinetry.

Like all units at The Towers, the penthouse has a number of high efficiency features. Hot water is available on demand, and radiant floor heating keeps the unit cozy on cold days. Homeowners association fees are only 16 cents per square foot.

The penthouse is a perfect fit for older homeowners wishing to downsize or workers who are looking for a getaway from the big city. The Towers are a short walk from amenities such as marinas, shops and restaurants, a theater, and the train station and ferry terminals. New London is located between Boston and New York City, with regular train service to both cities.

The Towers is a secure building with pet-friendly features, including an indoor dog park and nearby dog walking areas. Residents also enjoy amenities such as a greenhouse, four-season enclosed pool, gym, theater, outdoor kitchen, and pub. The lower levels include a parking garage, but the condominium is also in the process of constructing individual garages for interested residents.

If you own a home, the current owner is willing to consider a home trade as part of the transaction. Buyers over the age of 62 may be eligible for a reverse mortgage to purchase this property.

“Why downsize when you can upgrade for less money?” says Glenn B. Johnson of Bradford Financial in Waterford. “We’ve helped hundreds of seniors do exactly this for over 15 years. A reverse mortgage is an innovative process that can upgrade your lifestyle while downgrading your expenses.”
