Shopping for an Uptown two-bedroom usually comes with a trade-off. The view, but only one parking space. The updates, but aging mechanicals. The right floor plan, but not the floor level. Avenue #3415 is where those compromises start to disappear. Set on the 34th floor, just below Avenue's penthouse levels, #3415 is the highest-floor residence featuring Avenue's “15” two-bedroom plan. Increased ceiling heights unique to this level add even more volume, while its corner position wraps the living space in walls of glass. And the views go on for days. From this height, the skyline, surrounding neighborhoods and horizon stretch out around you, changing with the light throughout the day and becoming a completely different backdrop after dark. It's less like looking out at Uptown and more like living above it. Inside, the owners have thoughtfully updated the residence. The kitchen features upgraded white cabinetry and an updated appliance package including a double oven. Both bathrooms have been renovated with new tile, vanities, mirrors, sconces and plumbing fixtures, along with updated shower tile and an upgraded glass shower door in the primary bath. Both bedrooms feature custom closet systems, newer carpet with an upgraded pad and custom plantation shutters. The original desk area was converted into additional hallway storage behind a rolling door, adding valuable everyday functionality. The improvements continue behind the scenes with a 50-gallon water heater, a new HVAC system (2023) and dedicated HVAC surge protection (2025). The condo has been lightly used as a part-time residence and has never been rented. And there are two prime parking spaces. For an Uptown two-bedroom, that's a meaningful advantage. Two people. Two cars. No figuring out where the second one goes. Outside your door, Avenue puts Historic Fourth Ward, Fourth Ward Park and Center City within easy reach, while the building offers a resort-style pool, fitness center, resident lounge, 24-hour concierge, Amazon package hub and Google Fiber included through the HOA. There are plenty of two-bedroom condos to choose from Uptown. What sets #3415 apart is how many of the things buyers want most come together in one residence: the floor, the views, the updates and two parking spaces.
