This is not a typical short-term rental; it is not a remodeled “dependency” or a freshly constructed unit in an old neighborhood, nor is it located on a tiny lot in a questionable or remote area. The old wood floors, tall ceilings, standing seam copper roof, copper guttering, original moldings, plasterwork, old glass windows, and solid panel doors exude a special warmth, character, and appeal that that is very difficult to achieve in new construction. It`s the real deal!

- Landscaped parking for 1 car.
