Two-Bedroom Row House On the Northern Fringe of Old Town

Located on the northern edge of Old Town, this two-bedroom row house has a couple features that help maintain the home’s character while accounting for modern realities. For example, the living room wall has been designed so that a flat screen TV can be hidden when it is not being watched. In addition to the living room, the home has a dining room, an updated kitchen, and a backyard with a pergola, deck and patio. There is also a finished basement with a full bath and gas fireplace. Pets are allowed, but smokers are not. The home is available on May 15th or sooner if the current tenants leave early.

This approximately 1,000 square-foot loft at the project has the original brick and custom mill work from the property’s former life, as well as modern amenities like high-end appliances and a shower with built-in seating.
