The unit has a private entrance; up a set of stairs on the sunny second level is a spacious, open floor plan living room, chef's kitchen, powder room, dining room, and balcony.

The primary suite has three oversized east-facing windows, two separate closets, and an ensuite bathroom accessed via a sliding barn door. Up one last flight of stairs is the incredible private roof decktwo massive areas spanning the full length of the townhouse, connected via a pergola.
