The oversized first-floor, 1BR/1BA apartment offers a spacious 900+sf layout, featuring formal living and dining room parlors with pine floors, a full bath with tub, and an inviting kitchen that opens onto a private deck, which leads to a large, fenced in yard waiting to be brought back to a lush sanctuary. The “owner’s” unit is an impressive 3+BR/1BA, 1,600sf upper duplex with a spectacular front living room parlor with white marble mantel, ornate ceiling medallion and crown molding. A formal dining room parlor flows to the updated kitchen featuring stainless appliances and quartz countertops. A full bath with tub and a separate laundry room/pantry complete this level.
