Whether you’re seeking a peaceful urban retreat, a flexible family compound, or an investment opportunity with multiple dwellings, this property is not to be missed.
Altogether, the property offers approximately 3,452 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space—ideal for multi-generational living, hosting guests, or generating rental income.
