Two bedrooms and an oversized living room with a decorative fireplace offer enough space to lay out a functional office space or set up a dining area; large windows of the living room offer an abundance of light overlooking the front porch and small garden, where the tenants can enjoy morning coffee, or unwind after a long day.
