Outdoor living has also been thoughtfully improved with brand-new Trex composite decking for the rear landing and stairs leading to outdoor space and parking, back and front fence rebuilt —offering both style and low-maintenance functionality. Outdoor space adds even more appeal, providing a private setting to relax, dine, or entertain—an increasingly rare find in the city. Enjoy the ease of the private parking space for one car. Conveniently located near neighborhood dining, shopping, and grocery.
