Primary Unit: Renovated, bi-level, 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom (2 en-suites) with modern kitchen and baths, hardwood floors, in-unit laundry, black walnut wood details and cathedral ceiling living room with remote-automated Velux skylights.

The current owner uses both parking spaces. Rental Unit: Remodeled, 1- bedroom, 1-bathroom, unit with views, granite countertops, large, open kitchen and in-unit laundry.
