This thoughtfully designed three-story new-construction building features six separate 3-bedroom, 1-bathroom apartments for a combined total of 18 bedrooms.

Everything is new. The kitchens. The bathrooms. The flooring. The appliances. The HVAC. The windows. The furnishings.

6 separate apartments
3 bedrooms per apartment
1 bathroom per apartment
