The result is a property that delivers both immediate livability and substantial long-term opportunity. Lower Garden Duplex The owner s residence is a sun-filled two-bedroom, two-bath garden duplex with three exposures and an oversized kitchen boasting a dramatic skylight. The layout is generous and intuitive, offering excellent flow for daily living and entertaining, with direct access to the backyard that makes indoor-outdoor living effortless. The oversized backyard, measuring approximately 80 feet deep by 20 feet wide, is fully decked and thoughtfully tiered, creating multiple outdoor zones for dining, lounging, and entertaining.
