Indoors: This unit’s front door opens to the main living area, with the kitchen directly adjacent to the entry. The kitchen has a mix of cabinets and open shelving, and appliances include a range with an electric cooktop and a built-in microwave. The breakfast bar, which divides the kitchen from the dining and sitting areas, holds the sink and space for three bar stools.

Wide-plank floors continue into the living room, with space for a dining table near the kitchen and a sitting area at the far end. This part of the unit is bright, with white walls and glass doors that open to the balcony.

The bedroom is directly off the living area, with a closet and a side-facing window that has a view of trees on the neighboring property. The bedroom is big enough for a queen-size bed and a set of night stands. The bathroom, also off the living area, has a combined tub and shower lined with white subway tile, plus a closet that holds a stacked washer and dryer.

Outdoor space: The balcony off the living room is long, with space for a cafe table and chairs and a collection of potted plants. Street parking is available in the neighborhood, with nearby lots offering parking spots for a monthly fee.
