The versatile floor plans allow the third bedroom to easily function as a formal dining room, home office, or den to suit a variety of lifestyles. The first-floor unit is ready for renovation, providing the opportunity to update and customize the space to your own vision, while the second-floor unit offers immediate owner-occupancy or rental income potential.
