Inside, the roughly 900-square-foot, 1-bedroom (PLUS LOFT LARGE ENOUGH FOR A QUEEN), 1.5-bath layout opens to a bright main living level with VAULTED CEILINGS, newer dark wood-look laminate flooring, crisp white trim, and an easy flow from the living room to the dining area and kitchen. A simple white-framed fireplace anchors the living room, while sliding doors extend the space to the LARGE PRIVATE BALCONY, an inviting spot for morning coffee, tending to your favorite plants, or outdoor dining.

A large window fills the loft with natural light and offers a desirable open outlook, an uncommon feature within the community, where many residences face neighboring units. A convenient half bath and brand-new carpet complete the space. For added inspiration, another residence in the community has enclosed its loft with shutters and a door for greater privacy.
