Currently configured as a one bedroom two bathroom home with wide open living spaces, this can easily accommodate 2-3 more bedrooms. A Large gallery space opens to the courtyard, perfect as a work space & for entertaining. Building underwent complete renovation ~10 years ago: radiant heated floors, tear off roof, new steel windows & doors, and the addition of outdoor space. Parking for 2+ cars in the indoor garage and several more in the private courtyard. Seller also owns adjacent parcel which is available for purchase and would provide an additional 7000 sq ft of space.
