A thoughtfully renovated one-bedroom on a raised first floor at The Gardens at Forest Hills. Units like this rarely come up: first-floor convenience with privacy and open, unobstructed light, from the east in the living room and the west in the bedroom.
Renovated in 2025 in warm, earthy wood tones. Original hardwood floors, ornate base and crown moldings, updated windows and LED lighting throughout. Freshly painted and deep cleaned.

- Bathroom: floor-to-ceiling tile, a new medicine cabinet, a vanity with storage, and glass shelving.
- Living & Dining Room: open layout, double windows with an eastern exposure to the lovely courtyard.
- Bedroom: generously sized, with double windows and two sets of spacious closets.
