Go Back To Previous PageThis well-proportioned one-bedroom duplex offers a flexible two-level layout, with the living space on the main level and the bedroom above. The home opens into a long living room, where four large windows bring in steady natural light throughout the day. The proportions are immediately clear, with a length that allows for multiple distinct uses within a single, cohesive space.
The living room is notably long, making it an excellent space for entertaining with clearly defined zones-space for lounging, a proper dining area, and a dedicated workspace. If you prefer greater separation, a portion of the room can be enclosed to create a fully separate, windowed home office or guest room.
The kitchen is positioned just off the entry and is clean, efficient, and well maintained. It features full-size appliances, with an 18-inch dishwasher, along with ample cabinetry and a straightforward layout that makes it immediately functional while still offering a clear path for future refinement.
A comfortable, well-scaled staircase leads to the upper level, with two windows bringing natural light into the stair hall. The bedroom is generously scaled, easily accommodating a king-size bed along with additional furniture. It feels open yet quiet, with good light and a sense of privacy that is often missing in typical one-bedroom apartments. Closet space is well distributed across both levels, supporting practical, everyday living. The bathroom is in solid, well-kept condition, clean and fully functional as it stands, with room for personalization over time.
