The home is an upstairs/downstairs duplex with two entirely separate, self-contained units. Available primarily as a full 2-bed 2-bath home. A single 1-bed 1-bath unit can be negotiated depending on the timeframe and availability.

Each unit has a separate locked entrance, private bedroom/bathroom, kitchen, washer/dryer, living area, and island countertops for working or eating.

There's a gas fireplace for cold winter nights, with central furnace heating and air conditioning. The backdoor opens from the bedroom to the backyard deck and gardens. Windows throughout the house offer ample natural light and a cooling cross-breeze.

The downstairs unit is a 700-square-foot 1-bedroom studio with a private entrance in the gated backyard. The unit is recently remodeled with a new kitchen, wood floors, and butcher-block countertops. This is a "basement" unit that's cozy and comfortable, light and bright with perimeter windows and ample overhead lighting that's dimmable to match the mood. Open floor plan between the kitchen and living space. The unit has a 3/4 bathroom, laundry, and baseboard heating. A large south-facing egress window welcomes extra light year-round.
