With two bedrooms and two baths this spacious unit has everything you need. Mini splits allow for efficient and adaptable climate control.

One bedroom, an office, and bath are located off of the living space on the lower floor. A front porch provides a covered sitting space to sit and chat with neighbors.
The upper level provides you with a beautiful view leading up to the community gardens, wildlife viewing opportunities abound. The primary bedroom, full bath with a linen closet, and a spacious living area all have great views of Prairie Hill and the city and country beyond. A high efficiency washer and dryer are cleanly tucked away just off the bath upstairs. A back patio with plenty of sunshine is the cherry on top.
