The inviting third-floor studio showcases beautiful original flooring, a modern kitchen, and an abundance of natural light. The second floor includes two vacant units, ready for your vision. Recent updates include fresh interior and exterior paint, updated plumbing, electrical, newer heating systems, and windows. Additional highlights include off-street parking for five vehicles and a covered loading dock with easy access to additional storage space and/or future rental opportunity.
