The renovated 2nd level residence impresses with an openly flowing layout, soft natural light, beautiful faux wood flooring, modern paint hues, spacious living room, chic full bathroom, large bedrooms, and an open concept kitchen featuring stainless-steel appliances. Fashioned as a storefront, the lower-level may be utilized as a shop or even a fashionable salon.
