A built-in beer tap adds a unique touch rarely found in residential properties. The second-floor unit continues the same level of quality and style. Offering two sizable bedrooms with large windows and ceiling fans, the space feels bright and inviting. A full bathroom is located on the second level. The upgraded kitchen features granite countertops, subway tile backsplash, a large center island, abundant cabinetry, and plenty of room for seating and storage.
