The other half of the garage comprises a shared laundry and a small workspace reserved for the single occupant of a studio apartment carved out of the back corner of the structure (see a floor plan included in the photos).

The house was built in 1956 with 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms then (as shown in the photo of floor plan) remodeled in 1987, to join two rooms at the back of the house with a separate entrance. Sound insulation was added behind a hallway dividing door to minimize sound transfer.
