The kitchen features quartz countertops, subway tile backsplash and plenty of cabinet space, while the oversized bedroom easily accommodates a large bed and additional furniture. Two closets provide exceptional storage, along with additional building storage, bike storage and on-site laundry. Radiant heat adds to the comfort and convenience.
