clean lines. There’s a living room
with a built-in fireplace, as well as
a sleek kitchen with quartz coun-

floor plan. The master suite opens
to one of two decks.
In addition, the property ex-
tends to 2,000 square feet of out-
door space, including a rooftop
deck with a turf lawn, dining area
and city views. Down below, water
features such as a pool, spa and
fish pond complete the fenced
grounds.
