* Upper Duplex: 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms
* Garden Unit: 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom

The standout feature is the enormous private backyard, accessible via a convenient walkway that runs directly from the front of the house at the street all the way to the backyard.

Adding even more outdoor living are two private balconies, ideal for morning coffee or evening views.
Both units are bright and move-in ready. The interiors feature light hardwood floors, fresh white walls, and abundant natural light throughout. Large windows and thoughtful layouts create a comfortable, airy feel.
