It does not have a basement but plenty of storage in each unit. Each unit has beautiful hardwood floors, stylish light fixtures, modern cabinetry, 3 large bedrooms and 1 bath. 2 current leases that end next year and one unit is a month to month tenant, in case you would like to live there right away.
