About This Home

As of March 2022

Clean as a whistle, private and well-maintained, this 2 bedroom lower level unit features a no-step entry, a bright kitchen with newer appliances, granite countertops and plenty of storage. The living room is enormous so you can host friends and family and have all the room you need. A sleek gas fireplace warms up the room and adds a cozy ambience when you want something special. 2 spacious bedrooms feature generous closets and the updated bathroom is crisp and bright.
