Each unit also comes with its own private washer and dryer! Located in a historic neighborhood at the top of Prospect Hill alongside many wonderful neighboring homes with historic details. The trees and gardens are abundant here giving you the feeling that you are not in the middle of the city! Yet a minutes walk away is vibrant Union Square with its many restaurants & shops to browse. The views are phenomenal!
