As you enter, you walk into a large dining room (15x15+). To the left is an equally large living room (15x15+, not including the bay window alcove) with a small balcony a great spot to take in the neighborhood. The layout gives you an exceptional amount of shared living space.

Outdoor access: Stairs from the kitchen lead down to a small shared yard great for bikes, a BBQ, and hanging out. And yes: there is a hot tub.
