Description

An entire third floor apartment of a historic Colonial Revival house in the Friendship neighborhood. Two bedrooms, each with a firm queen memory foam bed, one bathroom with claw foot tub/shower, huge living room with seating area and desk, and a fully equipped kitchen with washer and dryer. Walk up to third floor. A queen air mattress bed or pack n' play can be added to any one of the bedrooms or the living room, just let us know. The space Apartment was once the servant's quarters and the former billiard room. At 1,400 square feet, the space is large with many windows. The wood floor, dark wood and marble mantels and wood chair rails are a contrast to the modern light wood furniture. Views from the third floor include tree tops and roofs of the adjoining houses. Apartment is located on the third floor and accessed through a private entry from the side of the house. It is a third floor walk up and may not be best for those in which stairs are a challenge. Ample street parking in the front and side of the house. We also have a personal electric car charging station on the side of the house. You are welcome to plug in! We can add a third bed (air mattress) in the living room or any of the two bedrooms. We can also put out a pack n' play and highchair if you would like them. The shower and tub is typical old Victorian claw foot tub and may present a challenge for some people; a big leg lift is required to get into the tub. It is not easy for persons with mobility limitations as the shower curtain wraps around the entire tub and there are not any grab bars. It is wonderful for long soaks!
