All six residences provide over 900 square feet of living space and feature neutral finishes, abundant natural light, and private outdoor areas that enhance tenant appeal. The property is thoughtfully equipped with a new water heater, upgraded electrical panels, central forced heating, dual-pane windows, and hardwood flooring.
