The front unit is laid out with 2 bedrooms and 2 baths, including a true living room, a dining area, and a full kitchen. The rear unit offers 2 bedrooms and 1 bath, with an efficient layout and its own covered deck. A big central outdoor space ties the homes together, and the property is set on a deep R2 lot.

The site is supported by a long driveway and solid on-site parking. According to the tax roll, the property is approximately 1,898 square feet. Some photos have been virtually staged.

For an owner or investor, the configuration provides flexible live-in and rental options, including the ability to occupy one unit while renting the other.
