A private 12' x 6' balcony located just off the living room offers space for a bistro set and grill, making it a true extension of the living space. Both bedrooms are generously sized, able to accommodate a king sized bed, and receive an abundance of natural light through large windows. The en-suite primary bathroom has been remodeled with a brand new vanity, fixtures, and tile. Both bathrooms offer new plumbing, fixtures and dual six inch deep heated mirror medicine cabinets for added storage. Additional upgrades include the entire unit being plastered and painted, closet upgrades with automatic lighting, and new lighting fixtures throughout the unit.
