This slice-of-heaven blends privacy of space w/the convenience of city living while feeling a world away in your own private oasis. Lovingly maintained & updated thru years w/some mechs, vinyl windows, more. Much potential to restore, reimagine or to potentially develop (buyer to do their own due diligence).
