The layout is pefect for two owner users or for an owner plus rental. Each duplex has 2 bedrooms and 2 full baths making it perfect for a roommate situation should the new owner want several roommates. Each apt has its own washer/dryer. There are walled air conditioners in just about every room. The appliances though not high end are stainless steel and includes a dishwasher and microwave in each apt. The lower duplex has the rear garden, and the larger upper duplex has a bulkhead (stairs) vs a ladder to the roof where a private bi-level roof deck is possible since the building's air rights provides for an additional floor. The cellar is accessed from outside via separate doors in the front of the townhouse and in the rear where the garden is located making it perfect for entertaining. The cellar is finished with recessed ceiling lighting, sheet rocked walls, and plenty of electrical outlets. I envison a pool table and a flat screen t.v. in the cellar in addition to a home gym.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07917898714624151948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2048034911181517049.post-35545790831325344722010-08-30T09:56:59.749-04:002010-08-30T09:56:59.749-04:00Finishes look alright to me.
