A NOTE ON THE INTERIOR PHOTOS: the two photos of bedrooms with colored comforters show the spacious front bedrooms. The photo that includes exercise equipment is the even larger rear master bedroom.
Cats welcome. Our tenants in the lower duplex on floors 1 and 2 are a nice family originally from Australia, with teen and tween sons and a friendly Labradoodle. They have the parking space and garden. No other dog permitted in the house, thanks for understanding.
Two full floors of beauty (floors 3 and 4) plus private outdoor space, in desirable upper duplex.
