Situated on approximately one-third of an acre, this impressive three-story building features 18 bedrooms with accommodations for up to 35 beds, thoughtfully designed to support comfortable and functional group living. The property offers an expansive communal kitchen, generous dining and gathering areas, multiple restrooms and shower facilities, and dedicated libraries and study spaces on each floor. A spacious basement provides additional room for meetings and group activities, while an inviting covered front porch and outdoor deck enhance the property's appeal.
