Upstairs, the dual-suite design includes two bedrooms, each with a private attached bath, plus a convenient laundry nook. One of the property's standout features is the enclosed, open-air brick garden patio--a rare find among competing downtown properties and an inviting spot for outdoor dining, entertaining, gardening, or simply relaxing. An outdoor shed provides additional storage. Recent enhancements include updated light fixtures in the kitchen and baths, fresh interior paint, and newly drywalled living room accents. Concrete-block separation walls shared by only select units further enhance the feeling of privacy and quiet. With a great layout, exceptional downtown location, and hard-to-find private outdoor space, this property presents an exciting opportunity to live in a cool neighborhood.
