With approximately 1,400 square feet, three bedrooms , two full bathrooms, abundant storage and modern amenities, it lives with an ease that belies its modest footprint. Hardwood and tile floors bring warmth throughout.

The third bedroom is currently being used an as office and it overlooks the backyard oasis, making every workday feel inspired.
