The first level of this apartment has two large bedrooms with 2 full bathrooms.

The lower level features a newly renovated kitchen with stainless steel appliances, which opens to the large living room with a working fireplace and an exposed beam ceiling. There is a passthrough (which could be opened up completely) to the unique and charming solarium. The solarium is a versatile space with a glass ceiling allowing you to view the sky from inside whether you are enjoying a meal or relaxing on your sofa. There is even a half bathroom on this floor for when you are entertaining guests. The truly special aspect of this apartment is the large landscaped private yard.
